So after yesterday’s free facial for the Londoners it only felt right that we even things up a little.  Where better to look for something recession beating to do in New York than Free NYC?

Their site is an absolute goldmine if you’re a little bit skint and want to have a good time without flashing the cash.  London and New York have a plethora of free events on if you know where to look.

Anyhoo, if you fancy dancing your troubles away, why not head over to Nola Studios (250 W 54th St.) where you can enjoy free dance classes on the first Tuesdays and Thursdays of every month.  Billed as an introduction to salsa and afro cuban dances the class includes orishas dance, rumba, arara and congo dances, an amazing workout without the work.   Salsa classes start at 7 and Afro Cuban at 8 in every location.

And if you’ve got two left feet, head over to Free NYC to check out some of the other freebies happening tonight.
