Yesterday we booked our flights after I got my VISA for the USA. Before of that we thought about this travel plan: 26.8. - 01.09.2015: New York City Drive with a bus to Philadelphia and sleep there for one night 01.09. - 02.09.2015 Philadelphia Then drive to Washington D.C. with the bus. 02.09. - 04.09.2015: Washington D.C. Now fly to Chicago 04.-07.09.2015: Chicago Return to Germany We already heard that Chicago don't have so much touristical activites, so we reduced the time there and inserted the visit of Philadelphia and Washington D.C. I already checked the hotel prices for NYC. 800-1000€ is mostly the minimum for a stay in Manhattan. 3 weeks ago I saw a hotel in Manhattan with included breakfast around 700€. Now I'm unlucky, because the same hotel costs now around 1100€. Which other districts of New York City are possible for a trip and have a short travelling time to Manhattan. I already mentioend Jersey City, but there are only some high priced hotels and some which don't look so good. Thank you for your attention. I hope you can help us!

Wow, that sounds very interesting. Chicago was also in my must have seen list. But I only thought about a flight from Chicago to New York, but it's right. Train would be a better option to see the land. I checked the website from Amtrak and saw that the price for one ticket from Chicago to New York is around 100$. Are there some special discount tickets like here in Germany if I book very early? The trip starts in Charleston, South Carolina. There I will stay for 4 months, after that I will show her some interesting sights in this area for 2-3 days. After that we plan a flight to a city (New York/Chicago) and after we spend some time there, we would like to visit another interesting city. We only have a problem to rent cars, because I will be 23 at this time and under 25 it's more expensive :( New York is fixed for know, the other city/things aren't planned today. Thank you for everything! Regards, ol1v3r

Ok, thanks for your answer. The plan is that I will do an internship in South Carolina for 4 months. After this my girlfriend will fly to the USA and we will travel for 2,5 weeks. The last week of august ist also possible. I also prefer a stay in New York, but I dont know if our budget will fit at this time. We will book our trip in 2 months I think, but I thought its better to inform me now. I think we have a cap for the night rates at 120$ or ~100€. But if you say that around 145$ for a 4* Hotel is possible I think positive that we can find something. Included breakfast would be good, but I think its cheaper to eat somewhere else?

Hello! I have some questions about a journey to New York. My girlfriend and me would like to visit New York at the beginning of septembre for a week. Our preference is a good hotel which is cheap and we can have our sleep and bath. Now I would like to ask you whats the average price for one night in Manhattan in this time? Would you like to prefer a hotel in Jersey? I heard the time to travel from Jersey to NY is about 45 min with the train. Whats the perfect time to book a hotel with priceline? Very early or late before the preferred date? I hope there are some answers for this and if I overlooked a topic like mine please mention it. Sorry for my English. I'm from Germany and hope to improve it while our stay in the USA. Thank you for your attention. Best regards, Ol1v3r
