Turning a Cold Shoulder to Frieze? Instead, these may please:

Possible reasons to ice over Frieze NY Art Fair:

Expense - $44/day entrance fee or $75.50 with the catalogue (some bargain, NOT)
Getting there - cheapest, easiest way to get there (other than walking) is bus service from 5th Ave/88th -
   $8 round trip (but you've got to get there & wait for the bus)
Travel time - 20 minutes WITHOUT traffic one way - hah NOT gonna happen
Over crowded - don't enjoy justling crowds to view art?

Of course, there is plenty of art to be seen at Frieze NY.  But, there are other options for free, easy access to viewing fabulous art in NYC.
  The galleries in Chelsea are putting on their A game exhibits for the overflow from NY Frieze.
  The price of admission to these galleries is FREE.  Free is Free.
I Suggested the these exhibits to view in lieu (or added to) Frieze:
   Alma Thomas   Paintings at Michael Rosenfeld Gallery
   Robert Motherwell   Works on Paper 1951-91 at Paul Kasmin Gallery
   Christopher Wool   New Sculptures & Paintings at Luhring Augustine Gallery
   Kim Dong Yoo   New Paintings at Hasted Kreuter Gallery
   David Salle   New Paintings at Skarstedt Gallery
Or, try walking in out of any number of galleries or take a walk on the wild side:
   Walk on the High Line (which tends to be crowded) - but it's beautifully landscapped, the views are             spectacular, various artists are presenting their works in the current PANORAMA exhibit and it's free.  And, free is free but not at FRIEZE.
