Creator's Key Takeaways

We've traveled to one of our favorite cities, New York City, many times.

One of the highlights of visiting New York City are those skylines, and there are several ways to see it.

We found no discounts for the Book of Mormon, so we paid full price for not great seats. Ouch.

With advanced planning, you can make your New York dreams come true by splurging in certain areas and budgeting in others.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Walk the Brooklyn Bridge for iconic views.
Take the free Staten Island Ferry for water views of the city.
Use the Today Tix app for bargain prices on Broadway shows.
Eat at diners and noodle shops for budget-friendly meals.
Download the My MTA app for easy subway navigation.
