We deliberately set out to have a much cheaper day today (and it worked!)
We used our (7 day) subway tickets to take us down town to the Stanton Island Ferry (free), took in the views (free), came back on the same ferry, grabbed a sandwich ($15.73) and then jumped back on the subway back to the hotel.
A quick rest then back on the subway to browse the shops at Union Square before walking to Washington Square Park. At the park we sat in the sunshine watching the street performers for a short time before walking to Greenwich Village. Another hour of walking around before buying takeaway pizza from Joe’s ($9) which we ate in out hotel room.
Day 5:
$15.73 Lunch
$9.00 Pizza
Total: $24.73

I am very impressed at how little you are spending in New York, as I would think there is temptation around every corner?
Gill
There’s lots of temptation lol, but we’re trying really hard to keep to our budget (lets hope we can keep it up!!)
NYC is so expensive, but you did GREAT today…
BUT, no breakfast?
We have breakfast at our hotel (included) – it’s saving us a lot of money.
Awesome, and yes it is!
Looks like you’re having a wonderful time, I’m soooo jealous…lol!!
I would love to go over on the ferry ‘a la sex and the city girls’ on their big night out…haha
Sue xx

A Hampton Inn in a great location – more to come on the hotel when we return home
No nightlife or jazz clubs?
