A Deal You Can't Refuse
Here's how to feel instantly rich: Pay $75 and join the New York City Parks and Recreation Centers. Yes, we've said it before, but it's such an offensively good deal we have to repeat it. For $6.25 a month, you get full access to 29 locations -- 12 in Manhattan alone -- of which nine have swimming pools. We do not suggest, as per predictable Daily News "recession" story, that you drop your regular gym membership, or yoga studio habit. (That is, unless you happen to live in Flushing with easy access to the brand new $66.3 million Flushing Meadows-Corono Park Natatorium and Ice Rink.) No, this is not a substitute for your normal gym, it's an enhancement. It's about impulse buying extremely cheap, public services.
