Happy New Year! Do you have a new year resolution for this year? My goal for 2020 is to learn more about travel hacking. I want to be better about points because who does not like saving money, free flights, and free hotel stays? That is my personal finance goal for 2020!
For this month’s free events expect pop ups from Tiffany & Co, Intersect by Lexus, Woolrich, Star Wars, and Jumanji. Some of the other events include a vision board workshop, Bumble Bff, comedy potluck, and a Sip and Read book club. In addition, get into your fitness new year resolution goals by burning off calories at dog yoga, hiking, cardio ballet, HIIT, runs, and yoga with journaling.
Please see below for a list of selected free events that are occurring in January 2020 in NYC. Please note, this post will be updated periodically, so please be sure to pin/bookmark and to check in from time to time for more events and updates.
