There are many fabulous cities around the world with a lot to offer in terms of sights and activities. One of the most exciting cities in the world is New York, with its incredible culture and history. With a population of over 8 million people, New York has long been one of the most desired destinations for tourists.

On your first day in New York, a must see sight is the fantastic Empire State Building. It is a 102 story landmark skyscraper, and is currently the tallest building in New York, standing at an incredible 1454 feet. It is an American cultural icon, and is one of the most popular sights to visit in the world. We strongly advise a trip to the top of the skyscraper, where the views of the city are incredible.

Another place which is a must see on your visit is the American Museum of Natural History. It is home to the most fabulous collection of dinosaur fossils in the world, and has an abundance of Historic objects and stories to keep anybody occupied for a long, long time.

On your second day in New York City, it could be a good idea to look for something a bit different. The Non Tourist walking company can cater for an array of different kinds of tours, depending exactly what you want to see in New York, whether it be off the beaten track, or roaming the streets of Times Square.

Also on your second day, take in one of New York’s best galleries. The Gagosian Gallery is an incredible modern art gallery, opened by Larry Gagosian. Opened in 1991, and in the trendy Soho area, it is one of the most interesting places in the city.

Lastly, as you’re winding down from your trip, you should take in some of New York’s fine cuisine. Head on over to Steinway Street, and get to know the Astoria area, with it’s incredible Greek food. Lots of credit card providers have partnerships or offers on certain places meaning you could earn a few extras on your spending such as money off your meals, or earned rewards points which you can redeem elsewhere.

New York is a must-see city in the United States – and if you want to really experience the flavors of America – New York is one city that you don’t want to miss. It is in New York that you’ll find historic Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty – which is where your ancestors may have arrived when they first made it to the States. You will also find other world famous attractions, like Broadway, Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange, Times Square and more. Being in the hub of things in New York means finding an affordable hotel that is close enough to all of the famous landmarks that you want to see. Finding a New York hotel on a shoestring budget can be done, although it may take a bit of extra effort and planning on your behalf.

The time of year that you visit New York will have a big impact on the cost of your New York hotel. It is cheaper to book a hotel in New York City during the weekend than it is any other time of the week. Most hotels also have other discounts that they offer, which can make combining a couple of different discounts the best way to save on your New York hotel.

There are all different types of hotels in New York City, all different grades and star ratings. The cheaper hotels are usually further away from midtown Manhattan. The further away from the midtown area – the cheaper the hotel is going to be. Realizing that money is a huge factor in finding a discount hotel before you book your room – be sure to understand the neighborhood. A not so great neighborhood in New York City can really be unsafe and saving the money may really not be worth it. So the goal should be to find the most affordable hotel in the best neighborhood.

Comparison shopping can make a real difference when it comes to finding an affordable New York hotel. Shop around. The online travel service may offer better deals than the actual hotel will offer and online travel sites also offer reviews from other travelers that can provide a decent amount of information about the hotel and the stay that other travelers have experienced. This could be to prove to be invaluable information, especially if you are not familiar with the New York City area. Reading other travelers experiences can point the way to finding a hotel on a shoe string budget in New York City.

If you don’t mind commuting to the area that you want to visit in New York, some travelers often stay outside the city and then come into the city by day to visit the places on their itinerary. This can be a great alternative to paying the more expensive rates that you will find in New York City proper. Once you get into the city, the subway system is quite efficient for getting you to the places that you want to see, and there are also a plethora of cabs that are quite affordable when it comes to getting around town.
