21 Free (Or Cheap) Things You Haven’t Thought To Do In NYC This Weekend

Let’s get those weekend brains turned on and shift our thoughts to the homestretch of the work week, toward all the fun things we’ll be tackling this upcoming Saturday and Sunday. At the recommendation of a friend, I’ve recently started using Meetup, which organizes groups outings based on an impossibly wide range of different social interests, tastes and activities. Whether you wish to stumble out of boozy brunch, train for a half marathon, or visit a craft brewery with some ~Brooklyn babes~ it’s all there.

Here are 21 selected Meetups for every taste that are happening in NYC this weekend, all either free or cheap.
