Hi, I would be visiting the US (NY & DC) this summer. I land JFK on the 16th of August to be precise. Please I would like more info on accommodation (I'm traveling with my son) and transportation in NY. Also how do I book the museum tour since the white house is too late now? Please advise me accordingly thanks. wanderlustian: |

wanderlustian:i guess because land transport in the EU is very cheap and efficient. Even air travel is very cheap too. i miss the flybes and ryan air in UK. Naija restaurant shouldnt be hard to locate in NY. It would be nice if you can create a blog for your trip. The breakdown of cost, movements and how to get cheap accommodation would help alot. I follow Jubril Agoro (passport heavy) on facebook and youtube, but his stuffs are oyinbo centric...lol |

melochic:Accommodation. .. don't know about DC. .... how long would be your stay in NYC?.... what level of accommodation? ....5 Star Hotel standards?!...executive suite?!.... or just looking for a pretty safe, cheap but comfortable place? On transportation.... $32 for a 7 day unlimited Metro pass....use to jump on the bus or train for 7 days counting from the first day used. 30 day pass... $121. You can get to almost any destination in the city via bus/train (subway)..... the reason why most NYC residents don't own cars. 1 Like |

melochic: Originalsly has done justice to this. I didn't book the museum tour, the Congresswomans pa did that for me. But I guess you can book on Expedia.com As per accommodation, I stayed quite far away from the city to save on costs, NY hotels are very pricey. 2 Likes |

Thanks. We would be in NY for 5 days. A comfy 3star hotel or something cheap and safe would be fine. Our accommodation in DC is sorted already. With regards to transport does a 7 year old pay the full $32 for the metropass or travel free with me?. Originalsly: |
Re: 3 Cities Tour - NY, DC, Chicago by Nobody: 3:44pm On Jul 30, 2017 |
Thanks for your response. I will go to expedia now to book. Does the metro pass cover where you staying in New York? wanderlustian: |

Just be careful oh. Its better to take the cab with your money than to try those subways in NY especially when you are a tourist. wanderlustian: |

melochic:The 7 day pass would do. Kids are free. The pass is actually a card...like bank card.... swipe to ride on the bus/train. Hmmm....3 star hotel!...that's a pocket burner!...but you muse know what you can afford! |

Zocken: If you are travelling with family, it will be difficult navigating with public transport, esp when no one is experienced. I learnt the NY system a few years ago on a solo trip so it was easier this time. Its kinda a lot to take in. I had to patiently teach hubby all the signs, colours , numbers, letters etc. Usually you buy the MetroCard after you come off the air train in Jamaica station. 1 Like |
