    You can totally mooch off a personal trainer’s class. He won’t notice if you stay back by the bushes.

    The only place where you can still get a cup of coffee for pocket change.

    3. Selfies with random awesomeness

    You know what would make that hilarious road sign or sweet graffiti even cooler? Your dope mug.

    Everyone deserves to hear “House of the Rising Sun” on an electric mandolin.

    5. Street flea markets

    Find that perfect $3 vintage tee you didn’t know you needed. (Bonus points if it's commemorating an event that occurred before you were born.)

    6. Humongous deli sandwiches

    Three words. Hot. Pastrami. On rye. Okay that’s four but you get the idea.

    7. Accidentally joining a parade

    “Oh it’s Welsh American Farmers' Pride Day today? Let’s do this.”

    8. Giving tourists directions

    There’s no confidence boost quite like being asked for directions by tourists. It means you look like both a savvy local and a nice person. The ultimate compliment.

    Spending money on dinner in a restaurant? Pssh. Giant deli sandwiches are the gift that keeps on giving, and you’ve got leftovers.

    10. Outdoor movies

    Because who doesn’t want to watch “The Lion King” underneath a bridge?

    11. Rooftop dance parties

    A six pack and an expertly pulled off “hey, you!” are usually enough to get you into any rooftop shindig.

    12. Seeing the sunrise over the city

    Bumping into coffee-clutching businessmen on your way home is the perfect indication that you’ve had an amazing 24 hours.
