New York On A Budget

There is so much to see and do in New York that it is hard to know where to go first and the decision can be even harder when you have a strict budget to stick to.

For starters you need to think about how to find your way around the city. A lot of attractions are very close together so if you plan your days well you might find you can limit the amount you have to spend on travel and walk everywhere instead.

When you do need to do something other than just walking, try out the New York subway. This is an experience in itself and you can move between different areas of the city reasonably quickly and cheaply.

Obviously there will be some attractions that you will want to splash out on, such as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, but you can save money on these too if you look for special deals and offers. There are day passes which allow entry into plenty of different sites for a one off fee. Be sure to check availability on these before you go.

Even if you pay for entry to attractions as and when you see them, you can still save money elsewhere. Some attractions, such as Central Park for example, are free anyway. There are lots of sights to see in the park such as its famous carousel, and you will only need to pay for them if you want to use them.

It pays to be smart and do your homework to find out how to do things for free as well. For example if you want to see Manhattan from the water you can take the Staten Island Ferry for free. It also gives you the chance to see the Statue of Liberty up close.

You might be able to get tickets to see a television programme being filmed as well if you are lucky. There are plenty of shows on offer and you can sometimes get free tickets on the day if you queue up for them.

When it comes to satisfying your appetite New York is dotted with plenty of cheap eateries that provide a nice contrast to the more expensive restaurants. The Shake Shack is an excellent example, offering bargain burgers and much more in Madison Square Park and the Upper West Side.

There are also some cheap New York hotels you can take advantage of. The trick to booking a bargain New York break is to find out all the best options before you travel. That leaves you ready to enjoy a better value New York break than you thought was possible.About the Author:
