What not to do in a new city
Gratis activities are ubiquitous, if you know where to look. Flea, antique and farmers' markets are often free for idle wanderers, as are many art galleries, outdoor festivals and parks — such as Tiergarten in Berlin and San Francisco's Golden Gate National Recreation Area, for instance. Most cities offer a handful of museums and monuments that don't charge admission. In Washington D.C., the Smithsonian museums and national memorials don't want your money. Ditto for the Getty Center in Los Angeles and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Many institutions that do exact a fee will set aside complimentary days or hours. New York's Museum of Modern Art waives the charge Fridays from 4 to 8:30 p.m.; at the Louvre in Paris, visitors can hang onto their euros the first Sunday of each month as well as on July 14 (Bastille Day). Guests under age 26 also enter for free on Fridays from 6 to 10 p.m.
If you are a student, teacher, senior or member of the military, always carry ID; freebies or discounts may drop into your lap.

“It makes it sound like I'm going to the zoo,'' he added a bit sheepishly. Hey, at least he wasn't trying to provoke. That was the aim of the guy striding around in a McCain/Palin T-shirt, the equivalent of wearing a Yankees cap to Fenway.
