NYC Trip Expenses Breakdown

⭐️ The price of a week in NYC ⭐️ People keep asking how much they should anticipate spending while in New York - I thought it may be useful to write a list of what we spent our money on during the whole trip! ✈️Flights with BA: £259 🏨Hotel (the New Yorker, two double bed room with view): £826 - my parents standard double room without a view was £680. (Remembered this price is divided between two to get the per person price) CityPass: Kindly gifted to us by the company - usually £106pp for 6 top attractions. This gave us an activity to do each day and we then did free activities for the rest of the time. (I’ll write more on the free things to do soon and will soon have a blog post on the CityPass) Subway: £2 per ride - we used it a handful of times and walked most of our journeys. I’ll talk more about this and other ticket options in a blog post. Morning coffee: between £3-£5 for a Latte / cappuccino. Breakfast: Around £7 for a fancy bagel or £4 for a McMuffin. Lunch: we often just got a snack while out and about. There are tonnes of venders selling hot dogs / fries / philly cheese steaks 😍 / kebabs etc We never spent more than £4-5 each on lunch. Dinner: This is where you can end up spending lots. If you want to go to a restaurant, and god forbid a nice one, you’re going to pay for it. For example, we had a cheap “diner” style dinner (Tick tock diner)- a philly cheese steak cost me £13 and a glass of wine was £7. Obviously you then have to tip substantially (by British standards). Another night we had a beautiful 3 course dinner in a fancy Italian restaurant (WOLF at Nordstrom NYC) with a lovely view and spent around £120 for two of us (with a bottle of wine.) Which we thought was a bargain for the quality of the food, wine and environment. We also had amazing pizza one night which was 75p a slice! Drinks: We went out for drinks on a couple of nights while my parents provided babysitting 🙏🏻 A bottle of corona will set you back around £7, cocktails are around £11. We got supermarket wine for around £8 a bottle and would drink that in the hotel to make it a cheaper night 😅
