I m going there for a school trip over spring break and I want to know the cost of food, souveniers, and stuff like that. Also the weather around that time would be nice!
in new york streets will make you feel brand new big lights will inspire you
Manhattan can be expensive, but you can still visit on the cheap if you stick to fast food or cheaper bar/restaurants. It s a big city, though not so big geographically compared to other cities. Mainly big in the amount of people, and the size of buildings, New York expanded upwards rather than outwards. Hotels are very expensive, so you might want to find one outside Manhattan and take the subway into the major part. There are lots of places to shop. Midtown is probably the best for this, but also the most expensive. You can get good deals in Chinatown though. I would stick to lower manhattan for less expensive activities, but definitely check out central park and the sites in midtown as it is impressive. Don t bother with uptown, unless you want to visit harlem, because there s not as much to see and some of those neighborhoods can be a little slummy. In the spring, temperatures range from 50 degress F to 70 degrees F. It s pretty comfortable, but wear a jacket and bring a heavy coat just in case.
Well, I don t really know how to compare to wherever you re coming from, but I feel as though the cost of living here is pretty high, especially when you take into consideration the 8.875% sales tax. It s a really busy city and for most part, we New Yorkers are pretty rude. Of course, we call it the New York Attitude . Around this time of year, it s also pretty damn cold. So, if you re coming from the South, you ll really, really hate this weather.Food is priced differently depending on which part of the city you go to. In more commercial areas, food can be outrageously priced. I ve been to a stand where they sold me a bottle of water for $2.00! It also depends on the restaurant that you go to. Some restaurants are made to serve you elegantly and some places look like a war were declared in there. I ve been upstate before and it seems as though you are getting your money s worth for the food so I wouldn t fret too much over that.In regards to souvenirs, I d say they re probably the same price as anywhere else that s a tourist attraction. If you want an I 3 NY shirt, it ll cost you about $5.00 to $10.00. However, if you re thinking of going shopping in places like the GAP, then I d expect the same prices on their items. Although, I do believe that NYC is no longer charging sales tax on clothing items for items under $110. So, maybe that may appeal to you? I don t know about the reliability of non-chain stores in upholding this deal though.Well, I hope that helped.
I am an NYC Tour Guide:Food is very well-priced in diner s . We have a diner, 24/7 on almost every corner.For some better priced souveniers . . . go to 14th Street between 4th Avenue to 8th Avenue. They are cheaper there than Times Square. Also, on 14th Street...lots of luggage stores, in case, you need something to carry home all the souveniers!Oh, Spring is great! Sometimes a bit chilly at night, if you re not used to lower temperatures. And it can rain . . . a lot. I love Spring, don t get me wrong: It just can be chilly if you re from warmer climates.New York people are good people . . . we are just honest . Nevertheless, don t look at it as rude; it really is not.That said, do watch out for the dishonest one s . . i.e. people who hand you free CDs on the street; they then, ask your name . . . sign the CD with your name and try to force you to pay them $10.00 or $20.00 for it! If someone wants to hand you a free CD. DO NOT TAKE IT. DO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM THEM . . . i.e. Do NOT tell them your name. Keep walking.Other rules, so you don t get yelled at:* On the subways . . .some have moving escalators, right? So, if you do not plan on walking up the escalator and just riding it up, or down -- you STAND on the right side. If you walk, you walk up or down the left side of the escalator.* Subways are safe, no matter what you hear! Especially in the area s you will frequent. If you re here a whole week, I highly recommend buying the unlimited Metrocard (currently $27.00) for one week. Then, you can ride the city busses (24 hours a day/7 days a week) and the subways (24/7) as many times as your need that week.* Accept no envelopes full of stamps, money or winning lottery tickets in exchange for you money and half the winnings from strangers on the street. That is, really, a list of various scams.It is safest to buy your Broadway show tickets at the theatre, on-line or at the TKTS booth (which offers half price orchestra seats the day of the show). There are three TKTS booths in NYC. One right smack dab in the middle of Times Square; a 2nd one at South Street Seaport (nice place to visit, too) and a 3rd one in Brooklyn.Some things you must do: Walk over the Brooklyn Bridge and back! It s free and great views . . . Go the Top of the The Rock at Rockefeller Center. 70 stories in the air, great view and not a line like the Empire State Building See a Broadway show . . . Ride the Staten Island Ferry . . . completely free, 24-hours-a-day/7 days a week. And it has a great VIEW of the Statue of Liberty. It doesn t go there, but a great view and you can get some pictures of it from the ferry!New York, New York . . . a city so nice they named it twice.And to plug my company. You can see all of this by taking a double-decker bus tour!
food cost depends on where your going. souvenirs you can fond anywhere . the weather in spring is from like 45-65 degrees . so bring shorts and jeans long and short shirts
its expensive....hot pretzels on the street r like 8 bucks and i dont reccomend getting anything off the street....groseoverall its fun and a diverse city
Expensive, that s about all. It will be in the 50 s or 60 s at that time, but expect it to dip into the 40 s.
During the spring break unfortunately it s a still cold there. But warmer of course than the winter! Ur going to have fun. Good luck!
Dark, Cold, and Stinky.
