Tips & Warnings
Call a friend or seek out a hostel to save money on accommodations. If you have to, stay in a cheap hotel across the river and ride the subway into Manhattan.
Take the subway everywhere. It's efficient, affordable and safe.
Crime is in every big city, so avoid sketchy, dark places and travel with a friend.

Consider staying at a YMCA hotel. Although the rooms are small and you have to share a bathroom, it may be worth the money you save. Rooms run about $28/night.
