What’s Free to Do in New York: LEGO Star Wars Experience, Free Acting Class and More
A special, interactive Star Wars experience, free acting class, and a Women’s History Month pop-up exhibit are among the dope free things you can do this weekend.
We’re now headed toward the tail end of winter, but, regardless of temperature, many of us have been outside anyway. And if you’ve been savvy enough to check out What’s Free, you’ve done so while going easy on your wallet (sometimes). And you can keep doing so this week. For this weekend’s roundup, we’ve got a Star Wars adventure, community service and more.
Here’s what’s free.
