The Meatpacking District’s High Line Park has been a main attraction for New Yorkers and tourists alike since it opened last year, and with the park’s Section 2 expansion now completed, new art installations have arrived and they’re pretty cool. Currently showing is an architectural exhibit by NY-based artist Sarah Sze, titled “Still Life with Landscape.” Whether you go for the green space and view of the Hudson River or for the rotating art installations, you’ll never have to worry about a fee.

No, this museum’s place on this list is not a mistake. We know this is where they show a lot of women’s fashion, but this is the perfect place to take a date without being forced to empty your wallet. Currently on display here is an exhibit you might appreciate titled “Sporting Life,” which explores the relationship between active sportswear and fashion over the last 50 years. Your girl will enjoy herself and you’ll get to scope out vintage Stephen Sprouse.
