Take Advantage of Hotel Deals
From Travelzoo to Hotwire to Groupon to Kayak, there are enough travel sites to give you
whiplash. When looking at hotels, do your research and find the best deal. Websites such
as Priceline.com offer refunds if you find a cheaper price. Hotwire offer's “Hotel Roulette”

Budget, Budget, Budget
Yes, it may be your vacation, but budgeting cannot hurt. When people think of New York
City, they think of the posh, SoHo loft apartments, sprawling from one end of the block
to the next with amazing skyline views. Let's be realistic. Most locals don't live like that,
and most hotels don't have rooms like those unless you're willing to spend the big bucks.

little and you'll be glad when you did when you get your dinner bill.
