Traveler advice

Ways to save

Purchase a MetroCard vs Single Ride

Purchase a MetroCard for the Subway vs Single Ride tickets because you will save money by avoiding the new card fee. You can refill the card if you run out of money at any MetroCard station.
What to pack

Bring comfortable walking shoes!

You'll be walking around a lot so don't forget your favorite pair of walking shoes!
What to pack

Bring a Jacket

Even if you're traveling in the summer months, a light jacket or sweatshirt might be a good thing to bring. When you're in Manhattan, it can get chilly by the water. So if you tend to be cold, don't forget this!
