When you visit New York City, one can run through lots of cash very fast. I just visited the City for the weekend and found some good tips to save.
o Take the airporter bus from the airport to mid-town instead of a taxi. One good one is the New York Airport Service bus, it's a $15 ride instead of the huge taxi bill. Their phone is (212) 532-4900 for more information, or visit nyairportservice.com.
o Get a Metro Card with unlimited trips. You can get one for a week for $29.00, and it works on the subway and bus.
o Eat at those great gourmet delis and salad bars they have all over. One terrific one is at 41st and Lexington Avenue, the Everyday Gourmet Deli.
o Get a discount theatre ticket by going early to the theatre district the day of when you want to go to see a show and pick up a cheaper, last minute seat. Visit tdf.org for more information.
o Stay with a friend or family member instead of a hotel, or search out a good hotel deal online. Hotels are sky high in the City, but deals can be found if you look.
o Try not to spend too much shopping. Not easy, I know!
o Walk and get some exercise instead of using cabs, the exercise and fresh air will do you good.
