Trip to New York

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Me and my friend are planning a trip to NYC and i thought i ask some questions that are on my mind. We will propably spend 4 days in there and then go to Richmond (getting a tattoo). Maybe will stop by DC. So if your form these parts, you too can suggest and tell me stuff Some of the questions might be dum, so bare with me

-Can you pay with VIsa Electron in there? And can you withdraw money from bank machines with it? And how do you know what those ones are? If you withdraw money, whats the % that is "taken" because obviously the money in my account is in euros, so how does that work?

-Tipping. I want to know EWERTYHING about it. Dinner, taxi drivers, bars etc etc

-How much does the taxi fears usually cost? Like how much would be from Greenwich Village to lets say to Bronx and back?

-We will in 90% be staying in Greenwich Village, so what kinda place is it? I just have heard that its really laid back and has jazz bars and artists hanging around=my kinda place

-Food. Where to eat (cheap). Were to eat AMAZING food in reasanoble price? Were NOT to eat. Price and quality/healt wise. And im not talking about food thats greasy Vegeterian food is for my part 99% must, if you dont include fish. So places that have vege and beef for my pall.

-The places to shop cheap, and that have clothes for BIG MEN (My friends 6'5 260 pounds . Style would be something like Sailor Jerry (I want shoes and caps), some hiphop and laid back style and maybe a place with good and deasent price leather jackets. Or any jackets.

-Places you should wisit, that arent really popular. I couldnt care less about statue of liberty or something like that. Im more into checking places like CBGB's, some poetry slam nights, Knicks game etc etc.

-And places you shouldnt wisit! And im talking about because it could be in danger to your healt

And please, anything that you wanna suggest, tell etc. Please do

We bill propably leaving after July next year, or before autmm, so you have time


Thank you kind people

Just out of curiosity, what is your total budget for this trip?? How much will this trip cost you, eventually?

I`m curious, because I would like to go to NY myself, someday.


Btw, have a good trip!

The budget (for the city, not including the trips) would be, lets say, 500$? And for the tattoo, thats on the open, so if it will be much, then it will take some out of the initial (or how do you spell it?) budget. But im thinking 500$ for clothes and food would be ok And for the plain ride, if we can get tickets for 400 euros, that would be good. Just have wait for discount tickets

So i would think it would be around 1500-2000 maybe (if we get the discount tickets that is). Will have to see, still long way to go You have to take in consideration all the unexpected things and impulse buys. A new pasport, travel insurance etc etc

Kiitos
