    New York

    Expensive, like I've always been told, but window shopping is free. Decided to get a 7 day metro pass, which was 30 dollars, for 3 days -- and was told by another woman that the pass she got for 10 dollars didn't even last her a single night. The pass is valid in all the subway lines, so there was no worry about regional lines or anything like in some other cities. My only complaint is I didn't have much money, and everything is pretty expensive -- I should have saved more.

    Insider Tip:If you're a smoker, and pay less than 13 USD on cigarettes, bring an extra pack with you. They're expensive in New York. Save at least 200-300 dollars for eating/shopping alone, not including hotel costs, if you want to enjoy yourself the most.

    RE: New York City is the most fun place on earth by far.

    No other place comes close to New York City. It is the only place in the world where you would be happy just walk the streets. Absolutely Magical.

    Insider Tip:Do not waste $100 on a taxi into Manhattan. Get a 7 day subway travelcard for $29 and you can ride the subway from the Airport into Manhattan and back again and all the time in between too.

    Hopefully my future home

    It was my second time to New York and now I'm hopelessly in love with the city. The vibe, the people, the buildings everything is fantastic.

    Insider Tip:New York / Manhatten is best seen from the sky/air. Spend money on a helicpoter tour or wait in line to get up in the Empire State Building. Don't underestimate the view from above.

    NYC, huge awewomeness

    This city is just like bigger than every other cities I passed by during my trip. We only stayed 3 days in it with my friend, so we tried to get around Manhattan the most possible, passing by Brooklyn. Pubs and restaurants prices were high compared to Boston, but ok compared with France. Timesquare is just the place to be... so many people passing by. The downtown is so huge it feels like there always is something to do that you did'nt experience, which is what I liked.

    Insider Tip:the roofbar close to the Urban OASIS is a nice place to go. Hardrock coffee is an amazing place to go too. I did'nt get the chance to watch theater on broadway but people told me it was amazing.
