You\u2019ve landed from your flight to New York City<\/a><\/strong>, now it\u2019s time to figure out how you\u2019re going to get to your accommodations.<\/p>\n

New York can be a fast-moving, intimidating beast if you don\u2019t know how to navigate it.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s five affordable\/convenient ways to get around the Big Apple.<\/p>\n

The MTA:<\/strong> New York City\u2019s subway system gets a lot of heat from its daily riders, but it\u2019s one of the greatest transportation systems in the world. For $2.75, you can get from point a to point b. If you\u2019re in the city for a couple of days, you may want to consider a 7-day unlimited pass for $30. Make sure you hold on to your MetroCard (the piece of plastic you get after you\u2019ve given money to the vending machine or teller), if you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll have to pay an extra $1 fee for every new MetroCard you purchase.<\/p>\n

Citi Bike:<\/strong> Traveling solo? Or just trying to squeeze exercise in where you can during a busy vacation? Citi Bike may be the best fit for you. Much like the MTA pricing set-up, Citi Bike<\/a> offers a 24-hour pass as well as a 7-day pass.<\/p>\n

Ride-sharing apps:<\/strong> Have your ride come to you! You\u2019re on vacation after all. There are tons of ride-sharing apps out there that can be downloaded for free like Lyft or Uber. If you don\u2019t want to be held down to a contract, this may be the best option for you. You can pay per ride as well as leave a tip without ever having to take your wallet out.<\/p>\n

Rent a car:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t like relying on other people and love your privacy, you might want to rent a car<\/a><\/strong>. If you do so when you book your flight, you can save a little more money. You can go to that fun party in Brooklyn, you know, the one that\u2019s in a desolate area because it\u2019s cool, and not have to worry about getting to a train or hailing a cab because you\u2019ve got your rent-a car.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/a><\/p>\n

Walking:<\/strong> It\u2019s free, it\u2019s healthy and how else are you going to snap amazing pics of the New York City skyscrapers? Some of the best parts of New York, walking through Central Park or over the Brooklyn Bridge can\u2019t be replicated any other way.<\/p>\n
