Film Society of Lincoln Center
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
Many megaplexes have cheap tickets for students, but indie fans would do well to splurge on a membership at FSLC. For only $35 per year, students can snag $8 tickets to screenings of critically acclaimed dramas, documentaries and foreign films. If you don’t want to spring for a membership, individual tickets for undergrads are $9. • filmlinc.com
- Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, 144 W 65th St between Broadway and Amsterdam Ave
East Yoga
- Price band: 1/4
Let go of your stress at this East Village studio, which offers discounted rates with a student ID. A single class, normally $20, is only $12; but you’ll get a better deal if you buy in bulk—a ten-class card goes for $100. • eastyoga.com
- 212 Ave B, (at E 13th St)
Madewell and Topshop
Stock up on fall essentials at Madewell, a J.Crew sister brand, which features a 15 percent discount (with valid ID) on its collection of women’s clothing and accessories. Meanwhile, Brit import Topshop (and its men’s brand, Topman) knocks 10 percent off of your total purchase if you have a valid student ID. • Madewell: Locations throughout the city, visit madewell.com for details. • Topshop/Topman: 478 Broadway between Broome and Grand Sts (us.topshop.com).
