Whether you are a visitor or a resident, "NYC on the Cheap" leads you to a treasure trove of free and low-cost museums, tours, restaurants, discount shopping, music and dance performances, and where to get half-price tickets to major sports events.

This app has been carefully edited to help you make the most of the Big Apple while spending the least. Discover your inner cheapskate with these insider's secrets.

More than 200 concise, engaging listings and 1,000 photos include:

* Cheap tables serving reliable eats
* Child friendly places and activities
* Shops where you'll never pay retail
