    Luxury shops on this 5th avenue, just beautiful to the eyes but not affordable for my wallet of course. See when even once. We went for a drink on the roof of a hotel in this street and it was just at the top

Where to stay in New York City

©
The first step to finding accommodations in New York City is finding the right neighborhood. Manhattan, where most visitors end up, offers some of the most expensive rooms in the world, though there are lower-budget options, such as hostels with shared restrooms. Reduce your costs by basing yourself in one of the outer boroughs, but beware of low-end motels where you may end up sharing the premises with hourly customers. Alternatively, stay along the New Jersey shore, offering all the major chain hotels at considerably lower prices than their Manhattan equivalents.
