What Hotel & Airlines are the cheapest in New York?

Question

4 friends & I are going to NY 10/30 to 11/5 for the NY Phil-a-thon, a concert series at the Nokia theater. All 5 of us are around 25 years old, & easy going hippies.

We need a place to stay, info on which airport, and how we can keep our trip at low cost. Looking at websites and reviews aren't really helping.

How cold will it be during that time?

Is it busier or more expensive because of the dates we are going on?

Will we get better deals if we book in advance or wait last minute?

What else is going on during Halloween and Day of the Dead?

Which airport do you recommend so we don't have to sacrifice too much money on getting into NY or a hotel?

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

check out vrbo.com, or homeaway.com to look at rental apartments. I am going to New York in October as well, and was referred to these sites. It is cheaper than a hotel. I also read that you can get a weekly pass for public transportation for around $25. have fun.
