NYC August 2024
New York City Senior Travel Session
August 2024
Flights:
Uber to & from the airport $58 & $100
Hotel: Hotel Beacon
What I love about the Hotel Beacon is it’s close to Central Park, has a grocery store across the street, a Starbucks across the street, & it is only a block or maybe two from the Subway station. The kitchenette is so nice for leftover food & snacks.
VRBO option
Subway is $2.75 per person per ride. We spent roughly $100-$120 using it, but we always used it.
NYC SUbway
$2.75 per ride
MetroCard for 7 day unlimited is $33
Central Park Pedicab – cost around $120 with tip
Real Tours of NYC – great way to explore the city with a tour guide – Private tour $500 for 6 hours – I would recommend asking about pricing for 3-4 hours
NYC Broadway Musicals
Places to see:
Times Square
Central Park
Macys
SOHO
Little Italy
Chinatown
DUMBO
Wall Street
