Wants to live in ur ❤and 😍🇺🇸🙌
Sarah, would it be good to stay in a hotel in Queens or Brooklyn (Days Inn or Motel 8, _if_ they exist)? Or should I save a s--tload of money and stay in a top-rate Manhattan one?
NY's finest tour guide! Sarah Funk you are one stylish, happy and beautiful woman. Love all the places you show.
Beautiful suggestions! Love your outfit and thank you for the vlog. Greetings from Melbourne, I returned home after living in NYC last year so nice to see NYC at its best!
Highbridge Hotel in the Bronx! I just spent a week there last week. A little under 200 a night. Most reasonably priced full featured hotel I’ve ever seen in the city! 3 minute walk from the 4 train, safe neighborhood, continental breakfast, extremely safe and clean hotel with BIG rooms and beds. Literally can’t beat that
Thanks for sharing!
If I'm going to NY I'll just sleep on a bench and save my money lol
Hi do you recommend it for a young couple that wants to stay there 2 weeks ?
Thank you so much! Just booked it for my trip in June. Now I gotta figure out how to ride the subway and I’ll be set! 😅
Pool ??
Hey Sarah! Just booked the Atelier at the Refinery for a trip in January! So so excited! Thanks for the info! Love your content!!❤
Excellent summary of the options. I’ll use Sonder on my next trip. ❤
I'm going to NYC in March. Love your videos. They're incredibly useful. Regards from Chile.
I am a native, and I feel the prices are still very high. when you factor in food, train, drinks, coffee ect. It depresses me how much traveling is.
How much is daily expanse for a tourist??
I also feel like those rooms are unnecessarily big. All most people need is a bed, a bathroom and just enough space to put their stuff.
@@usmansabir3840 That depends on what you plan on doing. Museums are expensive, and restaurants are usually not cheap, but there are ways to save some money on food. Tell us where you plan on staying and what you plan on doing, and we can give you more information and suggestions.
Unfortunately my visa application refused
Sorry, that sucks.
Hey Sarah, my husband and I spent an amazing week in NYC last month for our 15th wedding anniversary. It was my first time in the city and we had to go on a budget and we went with a hotel in Maspeth Queens next to some business, near a highway and next to an old Jewish cemetery. No tourists. Definitely where the real New Yorkers lived because we commuted by bus, to the subway station, to Manhattan, etc. We also chose it because we drove to NYC and needed to find a place with free parking so hey, it was there and you know what??
It didn't change our enjoyment of NYC at all. Did we have the great spectacular view? No. It was a very quiet view of graves but we weren't spending much time at the hotel because we were spending our time exploring the city and experiencing NYC as a regular local and I fell in love!
I want to go back so much now 🤩😍 so even though we were at a cheap but comfortable hotel, it still worked out for us in the end.
Sounds great. Jewish cemetery itself is a piece of NYC history.
Great video Sarah.
Hi! You are incredible as always!
Always enjoy watching your videos, happy holidays to you and your family. You coordinate very well! Is that a leather skirt? Have an nice day 🎉🎉🎉
Took your advice and got a hotel in Long Island City. Saved enough money on a 3 day stay to pay for tickets to a show on Broadway. Thanks.
The skyline view is a highlight.
Thanks for sharing this great video. I like the Sonders with a beautiful room and a kitchen as I prefer to cook my own meal most of the time. Thanks again!❤
I totally agree!
Awesome video, thank you! 🙏🏼
What a great video! Thanks for the tips!
You are so welcome!
I went to NY in December, and we stayed in Sonder at Battery Park. It was a pretty good stay, the commute was pretty easy too to all out of attractions
This would be good to know for those considering Travel assignments. ☺️
Awesome Video
From South Africa. We stayed at The Williamsburg (Arlo) in Feb 2023. its the best.
You always look so chic Sarah ! Great taste in clothes 👌
Oh thank you!
Very informative video... Do you have any recommendations for Coney Island Hotels? Thanks for sharing beautiful lady😘😘😘xox
Just went to New york for the first time and followed your advice regarding Long Island and stayed at the Boro Hotel walking distance to the metro , some views, good breakfast, rooms basic but good . The only thing the whole city smells like weed 😂
Oh yeah, I noticed that as well, I actually got sick of the smell once I’d been there for about a week!
The US Open was on at the same time and the attendees there were bitching about the smell wafting over the courts. 🤣
Laughs in Portland
Laughs in SoCal 😂 I probably wouldn’t even notice
All good info to know
LIC all the way. I've stayed with friends and in the middle of Manhattan in a nice hotel but LIC is the way. My up coming visit will be the 2nd time in LIC with a different hotel so can't speak to the hotel just yet. However the location is ideal, 2 mins from a subway stop which goes right into Manhattan. Also a nice, safe feeling area, which is a big deal.
great again!!!!!!
I'm just looking around at the moment. Great video.
I'm looking somewhere near Times Square but not right on it to save some money lol.
I will be on my own and do have a visual impairment so things may be a struggle.
I'm looking at The Flat.
Awesome video. I love that sonder place❤
It's so good!
@SarahFunky definitely gotta try it love your honest reviews as always 💝
Hi Sarah.
Awesome video
Sheepshead Bay has 3 Hotels. 2 are on Emmons Ave. Neighborhood is very safe.
Yes Williamsburg is still the Hipster vibe the Arlo Williamsburg which you showed I walked past it last and the outside is beautiful
Transportation in Williamsburg is can be challenging. L train at Bedford Ave. J and M trains at Marcy Ave. G train crosstown Nassau st ( Greenpoint). Numerous Buses at Williamsburg Bridge Plaza.
Dang. You're idea of "without going broke" is a bit different than mine. :D ...luckily there are affordable places. Staying in Downtown Brooklyn in February. $120-ish night. Also great train options there.
Ahh man… i booked my trip already for this summer at the NY marriot in TS. Thanks for this though as I could cancel it 🤔
didn't realize how pricy New York was for just finding a hotel
managed to find 2 spots over a week upcoming stay for under 200
Hi there, should've take your advice from the start, went to the holiday inn Jamaica in queens and it is the roughest most dangerous neighborhood I've ever been to in my life, we couldn't even get out of the vehicle so we left and stayed at ALoft. Great recommendation thanks!
Thanks
Thank you so much!
I stayed at The Flat NYC on W 24th St in the Flatiron District, really central to all the main tourist sites and attractions and had some good food options nearby. Rooms were a little small which is typical of big city hotel rooms in NYC, London, Paris etc and there were shared bathrooms but overall it was comfortable and the staff were really friendly, also free water, tea and coffee in the lobby.
It was about $216USD per night which was not bad value given it was pretty centrally located, I’d recommend it to people wanting to stay in midtown Manhattan.
Shared bathrooms is yuck, but if your young and traveling or traveling on a budget, it’s a move
@@justSTUMBLEDupon yeah, I mean it’s nice when you’ve got your own bathroom, but shared bathrooms I’ve found fine given places like the YHA/HI have it pretty consistent and clean them regularly, also is cheap in terms of room price. Sometimes all you need is a place to sleep if your exploring and out and about all day.
Another option is to stay in Jersey City or Hoboken. You can get into Manhattan just as fast as you can from Queens. In Jersey you'll get a view of Manhattan, but you'll be paying less money or getting much more space for your money. Also, if you want to drive to NYC you can park your car in Jersey for MUCH less. Leave you car in Jersey and take the PATH or ferry into Manhattan. Jersey City and Hoboken look just like many parts of Brooklyn. You can take pictures of Hoboken or JC and tell your friends you stayed in Brooklyn and they'll never know the diff.
My boyfriend’s grandparents live in New Jersey not too far from the city. If we ever want to go there, we would save a lot staying with his grandparents!
I’ve personally stayed at the Aloft in LIC … love that place! And the rooftop too!
I kinda hate that you put it on the video cuz I didn’t want it to get too popular 😂
ive got Hilton Midtown booked for feb and I don't really see a problem with that
Hi Sarah
We just stayed in NYC au hotel Riu Times Square. Rooms are nice, but small. We didn't spend much time there as there is so much to see and do, our feet now hurt. You have a gourous city
What do u say about Downtown Brooklyn?
We found an Aloft hotel.
Its so crazy how the 31.12. makes such a difference. After that date its way more cheaper.
I like your video sister good blessed you 😍
Warwick hotel 54th and 6th all day! Best place to stay
Thank you
Am coming to Manhattan from Malaysia in February 2024 for Chinese New Year, Sarah..option 1,stay at The Allen Hotel in The Lower East Side as tons of foodie selections around..option 2,stay at Best Western Soho at Walker Street Chinatown for ease of travel due to proximity of 3 Canal Street Subways and more!pls help me decide!thank Sarah all the way from Malaysia!❤❤❤
WOW the darker hair is gorgeous. I thought your thumbnail was somebody else. 😀
From January 16-February 4 save on Broadway shows with 2-for-1 tickets. As long as your coming in hotel low season….
Sonders looked the best but the prices are all over the place with some excessive taxes & fees. Looking for a staycation. You have to be careful like Vegas.
Im planning to visit USA next year jan ...im thinking to where to stay in Newyork city ??? 🤔
Stay in New Jersey and take the ferry or bus in. You get a good room and get a break.
We stay at the Hyatt in Long island city. I got a 2 bedroom suite for me, my wife and 3 kids for less than $280 canadian back in late Feb 2023. Also, they gave me in and out parking at the hotel for $30 usd per day. We stayed for 3 nights, sunday to Wednesday.
Hi! I’ll be traveling to the US for 3 weeks this June 2024 and will be visiting NYC (4 Days) & LA (3 Days). I have already paid for my hotels. Will be staying at Hampton Inn by Hilton.
Also, My budget is $250 per day for exploring the city and covering major tourist attractions.
Would that be enough?
Where can I stay in queen please? Thanks
The Jane is a nice budget hotel in the Meatpacking district.
I read about The Jane in Frommers.
Hi Sarah , what about stays in hostel ? Is it safe ? I see the prices are much cheaper when compared to hotel or airbnb
I'm considering the YMCA by Central Park.
If you mean the Upper West Side as a neighborhood, yeah, it's safe. I grew up in that neighborhood in the 1970s and 80s, when it was dangerous, and I still take precautions like never putting anything of value in my back pockets or putting a bag down where it's easy to grab and run away with. I recommend that you take those precautions anywhere in the city, even though many people have relaxed a lot, and I've stopped warning strangers to take their cellphones out of their back pockets if they want to keep them.
NYC Hotels are known to have a Bed Bug Problem...What Say YOU, Sarah? What Hotel should I AVOID???!!!
wow the prices 😯😯
Hi, when would xmas lights are up in Manhattan besides Rockefeller? I am looking for Thanksgiving week to see the beauty of New York. Thanks
Hi iwant to come to New York city ❤😂😂🎉
Hi! I am a woman coming soon to NY alone, and I was wondering if you have any tips for going from midtown to Long Island City at night. I am seeing a show at Lincoln Center that lets out around 10 and in other videos you’ve mentioned that it’s not the best idea to take the subway that late but are there any other safer options? Should I “splurge” in an Uber?
Thanks so much for your videos, they’ve been tremendously helpful and very entertaining ❤
Uber and Lyft are huge ripoffs in New York City. Taxis, though expensive, cost less here. If I were you, I'd take a subway, but I'm not you and I'm a man, so you'll have to make up your own mind, but loads of people of both sexes take the subway after 10.
Hotel Elysee & Iroquois hotel!
Stayed at the Iroquois for years every month, great place. It was like coming home.
I'm already broke just by watching this video.
I want to take my daughter but the price for twin beds are so expensive!
Hi iwant to stay a hotel in new york city
Dont look if theres microtransaction.
😊
Where is the new home?
Can you do a video on the best Airbnbs for 1 month short term stay in NYC?
Effective December 1st Airbnb owners in NYC are required to stay in the apartment with their renters.
@@ssadvweld1Can you share a source? I just Googled and can't find anything that substantiates this. 🤔
Google New York, NY Airbnb new rules. Rentals shorter tan 30 days are only allowed if hosts register with the city and commit to being physically present in the home for the duration of the rental and share living quarters with their guest. They are trying to increase the rental properties available for tenants. @@gracepattie
@@ssadvweld1 this only only applies to short-term rentals. If it's a month or longer there is no problem with a private airbnb apartment.
10/10 Do not recommend Hotel Kimpton Eventi.
I have been there a few times, including during COVID and onwards. It struck me that the service staff was quiet fantastic but the Reception / Front Desk staff suck. A return guest in my experience gets at a minimum a greeting card in the room to build on the relationship. Not at the Kimpton Eventi, even when I made a point of mentioning coming back. I contrast this with my experience at other NYC hotels and this let me down.
6:34 🇸🇦😍
manhadden?
awesome video!
In November 2024; Me And My Beautiful Asian Wife (Maya-Minnie-Chu) Will Be Finally Getting Married In New York City; We Will Be Staying In One Of The Hotels In Time Square.
All prices are high no matter what's said. Anywhere in NY, its expensive. That's why half a million people left the state moving out to either another state or country.
Going to NY in January 2024 for a business trip. Will stay in the Intercontinental NY Barclay in Manhattan for around USD 300 per night. Not bad.
As a Brit, the Sterling-to-Dollar exchange rate still makes hotelprices in NYC unaffordable for me, and as a solo traveller I wish someone would focus on hotels that priced for single occupancy 😞. Still, I can dream about returning. In 2006 I stayed at the New Yorker before it was refurbished and although the room and bathroom were tired and somewhat small, beingon my own that did not matter too much. IIRC it was about GBP100 per night for a week
Interesting because I had a look and £1 gets you about USD$1.24.
Australian dollars to USD is even worse, $1AUD is $0.65USD.
@andrewburgemeister6684 The rate was 1.99 when I went in 2006. No sign of it getting anywhere near that now
@@cmartin_ok wow right near $2 for each £1!!!
It seems to me like NYC is the Dubai of the U.S
I’m going in a week and still don’t know where to stay. I’m broke asf but need to go. Let me know if you have any recommendations
Last year my husband and I stayed in the New Yorker, very small corner room, very loud but what a view!! In May we will come to NY again for 10 days. This time we will stay in NJ.. It was a very long discussion. We will come with our 16 year old son and we want some privacy for him. In NJ we found an hotel with a separate bedroom, a kitchen and seating area and NY views for only $2500,- We want tot rent a car so we can discover uptown NY.
I've heard it's a big mistake to rent a car in NYC. Traffic is heavy. Take the subway instead.
Myself and my wife are coming to new York for the first time from the UK in exactly 1 year. What is the weather like, what's best to do, as we are staying 5 minutes from time square?
I just got back from NYC Nov 6-11. It was fairly nice weather but if you go out early in the morning or in the evenings it will be a little cold. Definitely pack a warm coat, hat and gloves. I stayed fairly close to Times Square which I didn't like, but it's a good central location. Don't spend too much time in Times Square. I recommend Edge (for the most incredible views), Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise and sunset (in Dumbo), Central Park, shopping in Soho, restaurants/shops in the West Village, walk the Highline... to name a few things- there is SO much to do! You may want to see a show on Broadway. I went to the NY Philharmonic and it was incredible. I prefer lower Manhattan to Upper Manhattan although I really love Upper East Side. Hope you have the best time!!
@@kathrynarnold313 thank you so much.
I really would avoid Times Square. The crowds are horrible - it’s the worse thing trying to get to the theatre. I often take a subway stop above Times Square and walk down 7th to avoid the nightmare. Almost preferred the area when the pimps and hookers were around in the 1980s. At least you can get about and Broadway had lower prices to attract the audiences to the area!
Hey Sarah wr are coming for the Christmas and will need your expertise how do I contact you
Still super expensive 😅
I live in New York City and I know some places more interesting than that more cheaper also uptown Manhattan even in Queens close to my older brothers house in Long Beach Long Island, where my older sister lives at in the Bronx. I have family there and also. In Brooklyn I also have family there. I come from a big family and were divided in all the boroughs in New York City. My favorite is in Long Beach because there is less foot traffic although there is more crazy but there is crazy everywhere I come from Washington Heights, Manhattan, New York.
Our affordability is different 500 Hotel Lol
I see leathers, I click. I always stay in Queens, because of the views.
Iam go there April 26th
I p
Hope you can help us
NYC is more expensive than London and Paris. $250 is ridiculous for a distant cheap location.
Oh sarah is gorgeous in that skirt man.❤
Awesome video but the recommended phone plan is overpriced
I tried pod hotel (nap york) last time it was cheap and located in bad part of town, a noisy horrible place. Do not stay there.
Quick question! For your Holafly code, is it "SARAHFUNY" or is that a typo? I assume it should be "SARAHFUNKY"! ⬆
Yes it is SARAHFUNKY!
@@SarahFunky I thought so! Wanted to give a heads up, my dear. Thank you for your awesome hotel tips, as usual! You rock. 💟🙌
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🙂💥💥💥💥👍🙂🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I can at go buy no monmericasyeúy inmhy packet
Where I want to stay? With my son who lives also in LIC (Beautiful one befroom with a balcony and nice view). We can go workout together at Barry's, walk to Multisweet where I can have their delicious ube cake with a hot Americano. I also want to experience the LIC waterfront. Looking forward to spending Christmas with him.
look at this view?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This vid is apparently advising you how not to get broke, but she’s talking about expensive options??? I guess the answer is that it’s not possible. What a tease. Also, is it harsh that my travel agent said that Brooklyn isn’t a good place to stay?
sim price doesnt make sense. $19 for 5 days but jumps to $27 for 7 days
This I just love . Where to stay in Ne York City without going broke .Here goes are you ready for this . Stay with the migrants , and you may even get a free ride home , and go home with extra cash , when your holiday is over .
Now that cannabis is legal you have to start making videos on we're not to get scammed buying cannabis or where is the cheapest cannabis is in New York we're not the smoke
Do as the locals do: sleep on the street, it’s free 🙃
Please do Japan vs New York on TH-cam soon public transportation food etc Tokyo vs New York visit Tokyo soon thanks Japan for TH-cam thanks haneda is closer to Tokyo and Japan airlines or ANA etc thanks
