Step 3
If you don't mind a train or cab ride to the city consider New Jersey or staying away from Times Square. Many hotels in the SOHO area or near ground zero can be much nicer and lower priced. The subway is great means of transportation to get you around cheaply with a metro card. This can save you up to $100 per night, while allow you to visit the Big Apple.

Step 4
Check out hostels and bed and breakfast type inns where you share a bathroom, this can save alot of money. Be sure to book a cancellable rate, deals can come up at any time and this can allow you to cancel your room and get a better room for a lower rate.
