My mom has always wanted to go to NYC and I turn 16 in 8 months so I want to get a job when I turn 16 so I can save up and take her and my brother to NYC
I’m doing something similar. Me and my friend are working next summer to earn money to go next Christmas, since we both are IN LOVE with NYC and Christmas
I´ve seen lots of videos in the last 4 days because I´m traveling to NY on december, and this is, by far, the best video I´ve watched. Thanks for going straight to the point with every topic. ❤
A big tip I would give anyone going to New York is to research and plan . New York City is very overwhelming and if you go there without knowing anything you will be completely confused.
Met the love of my life online. She's from the UK. We'll be meeting in NYC for the first time in person, in April of 2020. Will also be our first trip to NYC. After almost 2 years of saving my money. Will be bringing my mom too, as she has always wanted to visit NYC. This video has been helpful in my preparation and I thank you for that :)
That's a beautiful story and I'm glad I can somehow help. I just want to give an advice: pay attention to cultural differences. If she's from the UK meaning that she belongs to a British culture, she would probably find very annoying and disappointing if when she can finally meet you in person you come accompanied with another person, especially if that's your mother. I also belong to the Western European culture and I can assure you that I would be very pissed if a man came to meet me with his mother. If she just lives in the UK and she's from a similar culture to yours instead, just ignore what I said. :) I wish you good luck and all the best!
@@WhatashameMaryJane I appreciate the concern :) However, she is completely fine with the idea and actually excited to not only meet me, but my mother. I wouldn't just bring my mom without my girlfriends consent, as that would be kind of rude to put her in that position.
@@Scroney13685 Trip was cancelled because of the pandemic. I was sad, but oh well. It is what it is. Still happily with my gf though, just couldn't meet due to travel bans and all. Then financial situation got rough so currently saving back up to go to the UK.
@@MyNameCinema You should still go to NYC, with your Mom - to make your mom happy. Your UK girlfriend can join you there. Because of so many online romance scams, you should not risk going to the UK if you have not met your girlfriend in person. Be careful. Go to NYC with your Mom, and let your girlfriend meet you in NY -- your original plan. That way you can get your Mom's advice if there is any chance your girlfriend is out to scam you -- OR if she is a good, decent, honest person.
@@andrenewcomb3708 I think she was just momentarily confused by the fact that in Italy the word for September is "settembre" and the word for 7 is "sette" (which derives from the fact that September was the 7th month in the ancient roman calendar, since they didn't have January and February and so it only had 10 months)
Hey Mary Jane! I'm planning to go to NYC on September and found this video very useful. However, I still have few questions: 1. Are there other recommendations for food (other than bagels and pizza) for less than 5$? 2. Did you prepack food (bought from the supermarket) like sandwich/salad? Love your video! Warm greetings from Indonesia
Hey Ranita! Great time to travel to NYC ;) 1. Absolutely: Chinatown is the paradise of cheap meals, you can find meals for 1 or 2 dollars, crazy... Hot dogs at the street carts (you can see them everywhere especially in Midtown) are a good snack for $2. Chinese dumplings are usually 3.50-4 per portion and you can google on maps “Chinese dumplings” they are all over the place. I can suggest a good and cheap Japanese grocery store/deli that’s called Sunrise Mart, I always go to the one near 42nd for lunch when I spend the day at the NY Public Library, it’s really good. Then a typical thing for locals in New York (which I’m not a fan of personally) are the deli sandwiches. Deli or bodegas are corner shops that have a deli section and they make you sandwiches on the go for $4 to 7 usually or hot meals like chicken and rice. Good neapolitaner pizza pies you can find at Kesté Pizza e Vino in the West Village, each pie is only $5 and very good. If you want to try the typical fast food American hamburger I can suggest a local newyorker chain that is Shake Shack: the burger is maybe more around $6, but it’s worth trying. It’s fast food but way better that McDonalds or Burger King. 2. I personally never buy those kind of prepackaged food, but if you’re looking for ready to eat salads I’ve heard that at a grocery store called Trader Joe’s they have good choice and about other kind of prepackaged foods I suggest you that Japanese Sunrise Mart, I believe they have 4 different locations in Manhattan.
What a shame Mary Jane wow! Thank you so much for the awesome info. This is very helpful. By the way do let me know if you ever go to Indonesia (I would definitely love to host you!). Let’s stay in touch.
Kamran Ali Hello Ali, thanks for your comment. I gave the price based on the costs I have in my app’s history. I should have maybe mentioned that at night the price increases a little bit. But this is the average price I paid in all the rides I’ve taken. Of course I pay attention to when I decide to call a car: if the journey is very long I opt for the subway even if I’m very tired. The routes I use for a car service are the same length I showed on the maps in the video and I checked the price on the apps before saying it in the video.
@@WhatashameMaryJane Yes! But, unfortunately, not until early next year. We're taking your advice and planning our trip for Jan./Feb. Keep up the good work! 🌟👍‼️
Just don't forget the reason why those months are not so popular for tourists is that it's usually very cold and if there's wind the cold becomes very unpleasant. So I suggest you to plan the right clothes too 🙂
Interesting! Researching for our trip next summer! Well be doing broadway but the rest of the trip were wanting to be more budget. New York City has been one of the places that my husband and have both wanted to go for so long. Well be traveling every summer now that he's in his career!
That's great! You're going to love it 😉 If you like what you've seen keep updated because I'm in NY right now and shooting several videos about the City. I have another budget tip video coming out on Sunday made in collaboration with a native Newyorker youtuber.
I’m trying to make my parents go to New York but hotels are expensive for 4 people you looking at 400 a night Airbnb is amazing and cheap hopefully this works
So this is my trip itinerary for next year post graduation to celebrate! I need help on where I should stay since I’m also going to six flags in NJ. Should I stay/fly to NJ or NYC? Thanks!

I’m watching a 2018 documentary called the lost village and it’s showing how expensive it is there. So since I haven’t gone to NYC since 2001, I would really want to visit. But most of my friends that used to live there have moved away, so I would need to get a hotel. I used to stay at the YMCA bc it was cheap. I even thought of just roughing it and just not really sleeping and just travel with a small bag. If they have a 24 fitness, I have a membership that’s good at all their location and I can shower and change clothes. Hey. I was homeless once for 3-1/2 years and of I could survive that, I should be able to survive for a week. Anyway, it’s just a thought now but I don’t wanna pay like $200. a noght at a hotel like I have done in 2001.
Thank you Mary Jane, It's very useful video, which made me understand how much money I need approximately to go to NYC. I've always wanted go to NYC, but thought that it very expensive. Thank you so much!
Omg I’m from ny and it is so interesting to me to hear her talk about ny. The bagel part was funny to me because I never thought that it could be so foreign.
Do you know on average how much 2 people should save up to go to new york for a week? and what do you prefer airbnb or hotel and my last question is wheres the best places to stay when you will be attending broadway shows.
I'm actually again in NYC at the moment for a couple of months and will record other videos on a budget here, but you have to wait a few months for them to be ready and published. If you want you can subscribe to the channel to keep updated with the releases 😉
Of course You very welcome my new friend🎥💫 keep going !! ✨✨ If You have a moment pls stop by to my youtube channel “Optical Power” let me know what do you think 💭 I would love to have your advice Thanks ! Kader.🎥🎥
It’s $2.75 - in the USA we put the dollar symbol first and unless you are talking about thousands of dollars, you use a period instead of a comma - and by the way, Manhattanites will walk 10 or 20 blocks!
Thank you for the explanation Kathleen. Since I'm not from the USA though, I guess it's ok to write 2,75 as most of the countries in the world do. I know that Manhattanies walk a lot, now that I'm staying in Manhattan for a few months I do too :) But this video is dedicated to people who travel to NYC, so definitely not inhabitants of the city.
Thank you!!! Great information!!! We really want to visit NY and we were thinking maybe in October. Can you tell us which is the best location for a hotel- Airbnb? Value for money and safe.
Hi Barbi, I've done it several times in the past couple of years. It was not the best, but doable. Now after the pandemic, absolutely not. This is just my feeling though and I didn't get it by direct experience as I haven't been out after 11 pm in months.
I don't know, I haven't been in neither of them. The one with the best view may be top of the rock because you can see the Empire State building, the most symbolic one is of course going on the top of the Empire State Building and to be honest I've never heard anyone talking about One World Observation Deck.
Ahaha don't worry in Manhattan you can find ANY kind of food in the world!! You're not going to have a hard time finding vegan places. But one recommendation I have for you: Superiority Burger in the East Village. It's one of the best burgers I've ever had (and it's vegan, of course).
Thanks so much Mary Jane you're a sweetheart. I'm planning a visit in Jan or Feb 2020 as it's cheaper, if you know of a good (cheap) hotel please share.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
@@missnarinder May I ask you why you want to stay in a hotel? As I mentioned in the video in NY they are particularly expensive, and don't expect to get what you pay for: rooms are commonly tiny and there's no much more than that.
@@WhatashameMaryJane Security mainly. Female travelling alone etc. Plus I'm 45 years old, surf couching is for young people not oldies like me! It doesn't have to a hotel, a good B&B is fine, or a hostel with a singular room with non shared bathroom, as long as it's clean and warm I'm cool. You think I'm silly?
m i s s n i n i I absolutely don’t think you’re silly. Prioritizing comfort and safety over adventure and excitement is absolutely reasonable. Just please don’t say that Couchsurfing is for young people, because from the inside of the platform I can tell you that this is a false stereotype (infact I even made a video about the topic). Have you ever tried Airbnb? If you still have to register I can send you a registration link that will give you a nice discount.
good advice, but how about the internet in the USA? how much does it cost or does most places have wifi? can't imagine traveling there without internet. Can you get a sim with internet? Going to USA for a week, need to get some knowledge in.
Hi there. It depends on where in the US you go. In New York honestly every single place has free wifi, you probably wouldn't even need to get a phone plan for internet. In smaller towns you better get a sim card. I always buy a monthly prepaid plan when I go there (minimum $40 only GB, minimum 60 with voice calls and sms, in USA you pay also for receiving), but in every airport I've seen small booths where they sell tourist sim cards. If you don't find it there, when you get to the city find a T-Mobile shop, it's the cheapest phone company among the 2-3 most famous ones.
@@WhatashameMaryJane Appreciate the time you took to respond, yeah i'm visiting New York for a week, mainly for health, but i'll have plenty of free time daily so i figured i might asw try and look into some beautiful places and cheap food :D
@@rauliuxaa From the comments I get I realised that I should make more videos about the places that I visit in NYC cause I see that you guys look for that kind of videos. Am I right? About the cheap food, I have two videos coming out on the topic ;) For the touristic sim card I'm 100% sure it's available in the US, just google it if you want to prepare yourself.
@@omdthe9382 It's a very peculiar name, I've heard it only in Germany but I know it's from Norway or Denmark. Eh eh I'm definitely not from Russia. I'm 100% Italian, from a region in the very North East called Friuli.
On a $10/day budget you'd better buy nip bottles from the liquor store and stay away from happy hour. Central Park Summerstage offers free concerts all summer.
Yes if you buy single trips. If you buy any of the unlimited tickets (like the weekly one) you have to wait at least 18 minutes (so I've heard) in order to swipe the card again in the same station, or you can swipe it again at any other station. Is it clear enough?
I’m going to New York and staying in a hotel right by the World Trade Center. And then the stuff that we want to do like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State building, American history natural museum or whatever, and Central Park. With gas and everything included we figured about $2600. Not quite $10 a day and most of the things on our list are free I only mentioned the ones that cost money. And there’s no way I’m staying in a hostile or sleeping on some strange dudes couch
If you have an unlimited rides ticket (like the weekly ticket), no. You either need to change station or wait a certain amount of time that I now don't remember. I think it's 15-20 minutes.
Si ma il problema con il mangiare è che se vuoi mangiare sano, non puoi, sei obbligato a mangiare pizza e hamburger, per qualche giorno ok, ma poi come fai 😅?
Well, everyone who is not native has to start learning a language from scratch so my answer has to be no, my English has definitely not always been so good. :)

Thank you so much for the precious informations... You are a delicious person! I will be in New York from Tuesday for one week...
You're welcome, enjoy your trip!
@@WhatashameMaryJane Thanks...which is the best between top of the rock, empire state building and one word observatory?
I don't know, I haven't been in neither of them. The one with the best view may be top of the rock because you can see the Empire State building, the most symbolic one is of course going on the top of the Empire State Building and to be honest I've never heard anyone talking about One World Observation Deck.
@@WhatashameMaryJane okay, thank you so much...I will go on the top of the rock and I hope it will be beautiful like your smile 😉
Wonderful video recap. Very nice and well explained. I like you accent 👍 but correction on 7/11 its actually 9/11😁.
Fantastic work 👍🏌️♂️
Thanks :)
great video Thank you. I'm vegan and worried about finding good places to eat in Manhattan 🤨
Ahaha don't worry in Manhattan you can find ANY kind of food in the world!! You're not going to have a hard time finding vegan places. But one recommendation I have for you: Superiority Burger in the East Village. It's one of the best burgers I've ever had (and it's vegan, of course).
Thanks so much Mary Jane you're a sweetheart. I'm planning a visit in Jan or Feb 2020 as it's cheaper, if you know of a good (cheap) hotel please share.💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
@@missnarinder May I ask you why you want to stay in a hotel? As I mentioned in the video in NY they are particularly expensive, and don't expect to get what you pay for: rooms are commonly tiny and there's no much more than that.
@@WhatashameMaryJane Security mainly. Female travelling alone etc. Plus I'm 45 years old, surf couching is for young people not oldies like me! It doesn't have to a hotel, a good B&B is fine, or a hostel with a singular room with non shared bathroom, as long as it's clean and warm I'm cool. You think I'm silly?
m i s s n i n i I absolutely don’t think you’re silly. Prioritizing comfort and safety over adventure and excitement is absolutely reasonable. Just please don’t say that Couchsurfing is for young people, because from the inside of the platform I can tell you that this is a false stereotype (infact I even made a video about the topic). Have you ever tried Airbnb? If you still have to register I can send you a registration link that will give you a nice discount.
City Pass. Hell Yes.Thanks
looking forward to check out the 7/11 memorial
Very helpful video. Thanks!
You're welcome :)
Going in a couple of winks. Awesome video. Thank you.
Have a great trip Gabriela! Ask if you need any tip, I'm actually in NYC right now too.
Thanks so much !!
Hi, how do we take the public transportation if the hotel is not close to subway station
To take public transportation if the hotel is not close to subway station, you take a bus to the train, OR walk, the same way we New Yorkers do it.
Hopefully you never become in danger and try dialing 7 11. 😊
good advice, but how about the internet in the USA? how much does it cost or does most places have wifi? can't imagine traveling there without internet. Can you get a sim with internet? Going to USA for a week, need to get some knowledge in.
Hi there. It depends on where in the US you go. In New York honestly every single place has free wifi, you probably wouldn't even need to get a phone plan for internet. In smaller towns you better get a sim card. I always buy a monthly prepaid plan when I go there (minimum $40 only GB, minimum 60 with voice calls and sms, in USA you pay also for receiving), but in every airport I've seen small booths where they sell tourist sim cards. If you don't find it there, when you get to the city find a T-Mobile shop, it's the cheapest phone company among the 2-3 most famous ones.
@@WhatashameMaryJane Appreciate the time you took to respond, yeah i'm visiting New York for a week, mainly for health, but i'll have plenty of free time daily so i figured i might asw try and look into some beautiful places and cheap food :D
@@rauliuxaa From the comments I get I realised that I should make more videos about the places that I visit in NYC cause I see that you guys look for that kind of videos. Am I right? About the cheap food, I have two videos coming out on the topic ;)
For the touristic sim card I'm 100% sure it's available in the US, just google it if you want to prepare yourself.
@@WhatashameMaryJane yeah that would be cool! :)
Great value packed video :) I think it was 9.11 not 7eleven ;)
Ole Dragland Ouch! 🙊🙊🙊
@@WhatashameMaryJane Again, really loved the video ;)
Ole Dragland Thank you very much Ole 🙏 (where are you from? Ole is a Norwegian name right?)
@@WhatashameMaryJane You're right, good guess :p And by your accent I assumed you must be from Russia?
@@omdthe9382 It's a very peculiar name, I've heard it only in Germany but I know it's from Norway or Denmark. Eh eh I'm definitely not from Russia. I'm 100% Italian, from a region in the very North East called Friuli.
Just a question for the future: is booking an apartment a good choice for NY?
What do you mean? An apartment rather a room?
@@WhatashameMaryJane I mean for a family, is an apartment a good choice rather than a room in hotel or hostel?
@@saraghiraldo5322 For a family I'd say yes, an apartment might be the best option.
Minuto 14:56 sono certo non sia 7-eleven la catena di negozi 🙃
Dato che è voice over.... sarà semplice correggerlo 😋
Is there latest and new video please share
Great 👍 Thank you 🎉
Wow Mary Jane you look very nice and beautiful amazing video about New York City well done 😊😊❤️❤️👍👍
thanks
My pleasure 😊😊❤️❤️👍👍
On a $10/day budget you'd better buy nip bottles from the liquor store and stay away from happy hour. Central Park Summerstage offers free concerts all summer.
Never been to Central Park Summerstage, I'm checking out their program right now. great tip thanks!
Bellissimo video molto istruttivo. Grazie!📽🥇👏
It was hard to focus on your tips since you're so beautiful, but actually you made it, thank you!
Ahah thanks Fabio
Thanks for this very informative video ! I am still thinking about visiting NYC for the first time.
Merci 😊
My pleasure :)
Is there any chance we can also join you for your next trip ma'am..??
Awkward!
Can we use one metro card for more than one person?
Yes if you buy single trips. If you buy any of the unlimited tickets (like the weekly one) you have to wait at least 18 minutes (so I've heard) in order to swipe the card again in the same station, or you can swipe it again at any other station. Is it clear enough?
I’m going to New York and staying in a hotel right by the World Trade Center. And then the stuff that we want to do like the Statue of Liberty, Empire State building, American history natural museum or whatever, and Central Park. With gas and everything included we figured about $2600. Not quite $10 a day and most of the things on our list are free I only mentioned the ones that cost money. And there’s no way I’m staying in a hostile or sleeping on some strange dudes couch
Seems like a reasonable price for what you want to do. 🙂 I wish you a great trip!
can your friend use your metro card after you use it?
If you have an unlimited rides ticket (like the weekly ticket), no. You either need to change station or wait a certain amount of time that I now don't remember. I think it's 15-20 minutes.
Very good thanks
Nice video, greetings
Si ma il problema con il mangiare è che se vuoi mangiare sano, non puoi, sei obbligato a mangiare pizza e hamburger, per qualche giorno ok, ma poi come fai 😅?
Your cute you said 7 eleven (: lol
Yes I did 😳🙄😔
Also you said “your” instead of “you're” 😬 English is hard
This is awesome. You rock! Beautiful eyes
jose uribe Thank you! Where are you from?
Where are you from
Did you always speak English that well? Sounds great with the lovely accent.
Well, everyone who is not native has to start learning a language from scratch so my answer has to be no, my English has definitely not always been so good. :)
where do you live mary ?
Most of the ride apps charge per minute. A taxi, in most situations, will be cheaper than any ride app because taxis charge per mile.
How do you know that?
I leave tmr lol this was helpful
Hope you're having a nice trip so far!
What a shame Mary Jane I’m omw now and I’m so excited for the pizza and bagels!!
Good video...thanks...
You're welcome 😉
