It\u2019s been almost a year since I moved to\u00a0New York<\/a>. By this time, the average New Yorker will come to 1) resent Times Square, and 2) form a love-hate relationship with the New York subway system, and 3) constantly field questions from friends and family about how expensive New York activities are, as well as many requests to stay with you in your shoebox apartment that you begrudgingly accept because of that one time they gave you a nice Christmas<\/a> present.<\/p>\n

The truth is that New York IS expensive. That much is inescapable. But what I HAVE found is that expensive cities usually have great deals. Like Singapore and its $3 chicken rice, New York gets you a great slice of dollar pizza.<\/p>\n

Tips for Finding the Best of New York<\/h2>\n

Subway Pass:\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong>If you\u2019re here for 7 or more days,\u00a0get the 7-day subway pass<\/strong>. It works for both subways and buses and costs $32. Each ride costs $2.75, and if you take the subway even twice in one day (which you likely will), you\u2019ll definitely get your money\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n

Where to eat:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Steer clear of tourist zones for meals. They\u2019re overpriced and subpar, and you\u2019ll get much better food elsewhere in the city (keep reading!) Trust me, after waiting in line for an hour at Olive Garden in Times Square to get an overcooked spaghetti and an unenthusiastic bolognese sauce, you\u2019ll know what I mean. Save yourself the pain (and the money).<\/p>\n

Check out bundled flights+hotels:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0‘Homestays’ are in a grey area of legality in New York City – if you\u2019d rather be safe and not risk erratic strings of cancellations, bundled flights+hotels is the safest option. If you keep your eye on Expedia to source the right New York hotels, you\u2019ll be able to find some incredible deals on New York holidays.<\/p>\n

Stay outside the centre:<\/strong>\u00a0 \u00a0When you’re looking for places to stay in New York<\/a>, don\u2019t be tempted to stay right in the thick of tourist attractions – they\u2019re far more pricey, and you\u2019ll likely have to travel by train to other New York attractions anyway. Manhattan is a safe bet – when I first came to the city, I stayed at the\u00a0Club Quarters Hotel, Wall Street<\/a>. It was comfortable, convenient, business district, quiet at 7 pm.<\/p>\n

New York City can be overwhelming for someone who doesn\u2019t know where to look.\u00a0 Here are some of my lesser known favourites in the big city. They\u2019re cheap (and sometimes free), and an absolute blast.<\/p>\n

New York Activities<\/h2>\n

Chelsea – Contemporary Art Galleries<\/h2>\n

This was a super recent find for me. My sister came up to visit me and wanted to find a specific art gallery that housed one of her favorite artist\u2019s works: Damien Hirst and his iconic piece – a shark preserved in formaldehyde, called The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (that\u2019s a long name) showcased in the Gagosian Gallery.<\/p>\n

\"The\"The<\/u>The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living by Damien Hirst at\u00a0<\/em>the Gagosian Gallery<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

It was breathtaking. Surrounding this gallery were dozens of others just like it, small (and free), housing only a few pieces by contemporary artists, providing plenty of New York activities for the art enthusiasts. We spent the entire afternoon darting in and out this museums-in-miniature.<\/p>\n

A small bonus of this very artistic afternoon in Chelsea was buying a gorgeous shirt at a sample sale in Chelsea Market and walking the iconic Highline. A former railroad converted into a 1.5-mile long park. We weaved through the gorgeous Chelsea neighbourhood and had excellent views of Downtown Manhattan.<\/p>\n

East Village – Food & Drink<\/h2>\n

Restaurants<\/h4>\n

Easily my favourite spot in the city. I\u2019m biased – I live here.<\/p>\n

The East Village used to be grungy and artistic, and the centre of counterculture – and you\u2019ll see remnants of it remain. But what you\u2019ll also see here are the incredible food and great nightlife. All my New Yorker friends frequent the East Village for some of their favourite restaurants and bars, and honestly, you\u2019ll get fantastic food here at different price points. What’s interesting – you\u2019ll find nary a chain restaurant (or at least very few) here.<\/p>\n

\"Brisket\u00a0<\/em>Brisket Tuesdays at\u00a0<\/em>Ducks Eatery, East Village<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Zaru\u00a0<\/em>Zaru Udon at\u00a0<\/em>Raku, East Village<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Some of my personal favourites are Ducks Eatery for their Brisket Tuesdays or Raku and their handmade Zaru Udon. The East Village is also the birthplace of the New York staple Momofuku empire – and I\u2019m personally OBSESSED with the Crack Pie from Momofuku Milk Bar. Watch the Christina Tosi on one of the latest Chef\u2019s Table episodes, and you’ll understand why. (Well, I\u2019m also saving up for a baking class here!)<\/p>\n

\"Momofuku<\/em>Momofuku Milk Bar<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Drink like a New Yorker<\/h4>\n

Bar-wise, you\u2019ll find great drinks through the East Village, but something totally unique here is speakeasies, underground (and illegal) establishments that served alcohol during America\u2019s Prohibition era. Prohibition has long since ended, but some speakeasies, like Please Don\u2019t Tell, are still down with the secrecy, and so am I. This secret cocktail bar is reservations-only, which gives you a secret code that you enter into the dial pad of a phone booth located in a tiny hotdog store. It\u2019s one of the most awesome New York activities to enjoy in the evening, and the cocktails are pretty awesome too.<\/p>\n

Bowery – Really Cool Stores<\/h2>\n

\"Assembly<\/em><\/p>\n

Assembly New York<\/em>\u00a0– home of things too cool for me<\/em><\/p>\n

When it comes to New York activities, shopping is right up there and this area is just so damn trendy. If you ever have the inkling to feeling like you\u2019re just not cool enough, this is definitely the place. Here, you\u2019ll find awesome pop-up stores selling things that you\u2019ll almost never see elsewhere, and the coolest boutiques selling expertly curated pieces of clothes, cosmetics, and even furniture. People think Fifth Avenue captures the New York essence, but in my opinion, Bowery takes charge of all things trendy, hip, and awesome.<\/p>\n

\"Door<\/em><\/p>\n

Door to\u00a0<\/em>Chop Suey Club<\/em>\u00a0– a boutique for contemporary Chinese design and art<\/em><\/p>\n

Cire Trudon<\/em>\u00a0is a store that I couldn\u2019t stop thinking after visiting it. It was a fragrance store decorated in a dark, modern-baroque style, and sold these incredible wax busts of notable French figures, like Napoleon and Marie Antoinette. I\u2019ve made it one of my lifelong dreams to buy one and light it halfway through so it looks like Napoleon\u2019s melting ala Wicked Witch of the West.<\/p>\n

\"An<\/em><\/p>\n

An excerpt from the\u00a0<\/em>Cire Trudon<\/em>\u00a0store guide<\/em><\/p>\n

Bowery is by no means a budget-friendly locale if you\u2019re looking to do some serious shopping, but even just browsing, you\u2019ll have a ton of fun like I did. Really inspires you to step up your aesthetic.<\/p>\n

Williamsburg – Thrift and Vintage<\/h2>\n

Like Bowery, Williamsburg<\/em> is young and fashionable, but perhaps more approachable money-wise (though less approachable hipster-wise). It\u2019s a very<\/em> hipster neighbourhood. Never would I have thought that an outfit of all primary colours consisting of thrift pieces from the 70s, 50s, and early 2000s would work, but this Brooklyn neighbourhood proves me wrong each time. It\u2019s weird and wacky, but amusing and trendy. They do great thrift shops at all prices – from $6-10 shirts at a consignment store to $800 vintage designer pieces.<\/p>\n

\"Vintage,\u00a0<\/em>Monk Vintage, Williamsburg<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My personal favourite is\u00a0L Train Vintage<\/em>\u00a0– they\u2019re a chain, but since each store takes in clothes from their respective neighbourhoods, you\u2019ll find different pieces everywhere. A shirt costs you about $6-$10. Monk Vintage is small and eclectic but can be pricey. Buffalo Exchange is a midpoint between the two, with a great selection that makes you put in the effort to find something you really love.<\/p>\n

Hell’s Kitchen – Drag Shows<\/h2>\n

\"Drag\u00a0<\/em>A Trixie Mattel show<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

New York is famous for its drag scene, and their drag queens are some of the best in the world – Bianca Del Rio and even RuPaul started in bars like these. I\u2019ve had a blast in some of these bars, and they guarantee an entertaining night. Check out drag.nyc for the latest drag shows – they\u2019re fun, campy, and irreverent. Not a kid-friendly place, not least because they can\u2019t get in (21 and over).<\/p>\n
