We are planning a trip to New York City in December of this year. We are consistently saving up for it with an end goal of having $3,000 by the end of August. We’re putting away $200 per month for it, and are right on target to wrap up saving in August.
We want this trip to be memorable, of course. On the other hand, we want to be as “travel frugal” as possible to get the most bang for our buck. We’re not going to be cheap about it because this is probably the only time we’ll ever go to NYC. We’re not afraid to drop some money on something really special, but we’re not here to see how quickly we can blow through the money. We are planning on staying 5 or 6 nights, if possible.
Some ideas we had. Do you know how much some of these activities might cost?
- Statue of Liberty
- Grand Central Station
- Rockefeller Center
- Broadway
- Central Park (we want to go ice skating :))
- Empire State Building
- Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim
- Times Square
- WTC Site
- Radio City Music Hall
- Wall Street
- China Town
- seeing The New York Philharmonic
- shopping in general
- great, unique restaurants
- Maybe we’ll get lucky and see the Cash Cab…
We have no idea where we might stay. So I’m asking you — if you were going to New York City, where you would you stay, what would you do, and how much it would cost you?
