There always are free and frugal family-friendly events to enjoy in NYC on weekends, and this first weekend of 2014 is no different. As always, nothing on the NYC on the Cheap list of weekend events and activities costs more than $15, because NYCOTC believes you can be a NYC cheapskate and still have fun in the greatest city in the world. Unless otherwise noted, events are FREE.
