How much would a trip to New York cost.?

Question

I am planning a trip with my best friend and we plan on going to new york. There is 1 adult going with, but we are paying. We'd be leaving in Ohio, to arrive in New york, New York. We are planning on staying at a hotel, and flying roundtrip. How much would the basics cost.? and any good fundraising ideas would help.!

Answer 1

Plan on $300 per person for an round trip airplane ticket purchased at least 2 weeks in advance.

Plan on $300 a night per room (this would be a low end tourist class hotel), if you plan on staying in Manhattan.

For everything else, it all depends on what your budget is. You could spend $30 a day on food per person per day, if you don't mind eating from street vendors and fast food places or $500 per person per day, if you plan on hitting restaurants like Le Bernadin and Per Se.
