Interning in New York: Things to do After Your Internship

Although you may have landed a great internship in New York City, the workplace is certainly not going to be what you remember most.  Even if you are commuting two hours every day to work, you should definitely take time to explore the city at the end of your days.  While Manhattan can be a very expensive place to live, there are some great free and cheap things to do in the Big Apple.  They’re all just a subway ride away, and every bit worth checking out.  You may be a little overwhelmed by the subway system at first, but if you pick up a pocket map, it’s very easy to get used to.  Conveniently, you can go within blocks of just about anywhere in the city.

If you are working in midtown, Bryant Park is a great hangout.  Just about any night of the summer, something is going on.  Whether it be a movie showing, music, or a flea market, Bryant Park is a great place to go to and relax after a long day of work.  Each night of the week, there are performances at the People’s Improv Theater (or the PIT) that are either free, or under ten dollars.  These shows are always hilarious, and the performers usually involve the crowd pretty heavily.  Some nights, standup comedians can be found there as well.

If you’re feeling hungry, and you want to grab some drinks and food with some coworkers, some good all you can eat places include: Charles’ Southern Style Kitchen, Chola, and Bombay Palace.  There are plenty of other cheap restaurants around midtown.  A great resource for all kinds of activities going on throughout New York is ExcitingNY.com.  Check it out for any inspiration on how to spend your evenings in New York City.
