New York is notorious for being an expensive place to be and, to some extent, that notoriety rings true. However, there are a couple of ways in which you can save money if you are travelling to this fantastic city. On this page, I am going to introduce you to a few of them.
1. Firstly, think about how you are travelling to New York. Now, there are, obviously, some places you can live which will only be able to get to New York via plane. However, if you can get a bus, go down that route. It may take you a bit longer, but it is going to be a whole lot cheaper. In fact, if you can drive, do that too. If you have multiple people in the car, you are going to be saving a whole load of cash and all of that cash can, of course, be used for your New York trip.
2. Before you head to New York, plan about where you wish to eat. Yes, I know this is a lot of effort, but it is going to be worth it. It is likely that you will be able to find discount vouchers for some of the best places online. In addition to this, you can also head to sites such as Groupon which normally have some pretty decent offers for restaurants in New York. If you do not like this level of planning, then you will be pleased to know that there are a number of cheap locations to eat here, just make sure that you get a guidebook beforehand.
3. There are a lot of free attractions to see around New York. In fact, some of the most popular locations are free. The Statue of Liberty and Central Park are right up there when it comes to free attractions to visit. Some of them will even have free guided tours which you can take!
4. Want to catch a decent Broadway show? Well, you can buy tickets for ‘same day’ shows at the TKTS booths found in Times Square, Brooklyn and South Street Seaport. The queues do get long, however, and you have no way of ensuring that you will be able to see what you want, although, if you get there early, the chances of being able to see a good show are high!
5. Do not stay near the center of New York if you wish to save money! Travelling around New York is dreadfully simple, so you can stay in some of hotels further away from the center in order to save a decent amount of cash.
6. Do not head around New York in a taxi. This is expensive, very expensive. Instead, purchase a Metro pass for travelling around the city whilst you are staying there. You will be able to save a lot of cash, and you will not have to worry about your Taxi getting through all of that heavy traffic.
