      How does Holafly work if you buy data from them, and your phone is sat on data, how do you know if your phone is not roming and using your own home country data, but using data from Holafly? I'm going to New York in November, so it will mean a lot if someone can help with my question 🙏😊

      Hey, the main thing is have some snacks. They're very friendly rats, squirrels and pigeons. Trust me you'll feel bad if you don't have something for them. Especially the cute squirrels cause they stand on their legs and beg with their tiny arms and it's heartbreaking.😊

    I went to NY two weeks ago and your channel help me so much.. my tips I learn
    1) bring a portable battery charger because you most like be out all day and taking pics video… *Bonus tip clear storage space for videos/pics
    2) try budget in at least one of two rides share instead subway that way you see the city while you get your location.. Revel was very good because they have Tesla and you can see buildings threw the rooftop of car
    3. Use restrooms when you can especially if it’s place you paid for a item.. Not a lot clean public restrooms in city
    4. Leave room to walk & explore. I found so many cool places because I decided to walk
    5.. Go to NY with a postive mindset that “everyone is kind and nice to me everywhere I go” often we hear bad things about places and we go in with that mindset” I felt safe and everyone was so helpful and nice.. Yes you might get ignored and you have factor in some people might night understand your language because they only speaks theirs..

    I'm from central/eastern Europe where average middle class wage is around 1200€/month. We love to travel so I'm in charge of budgeting our trips. I went in 2019 to NYC with my mom for two weeks. The whole trip (including airbnb in Jersey, fly tickets, 10 days NY pass, food, public transport, ubers, NFL game and little cash) cost us about 2500€ for both. I love low budget travelling! Next time we would definitely pay more and stay in Manhattan but besides that it was great!!!

    5:27 the line for legitimate yellow cabs at LaGuardia is not at all obvious when you exit the airport. You have to go all the way to the forward end of the Arrivals section and then cross the street and go behind a wall. Anybody looking to ride a yellow cab from LGA, you have to follow the signs and go across the road. If you can't find the taxi line, ask a uniformed airport employee.

    I went to NYC in 2014 with my graduating class and I remember being surprised at just how much walking we did. I wore relatively comfy shoes but my feet were definetly killing me at the end of every single day. The bottoms of shoes were worn entirely by the end of the trip (they were cheap shoes) and to this day I don't think I have done that much walking since! 😅

    Sarah
    As a person who likes trains and takes the Subway to work as well as Rangers games.
    At a Subway station on the platform go to the middle of the platform and look for a striped bar and cameras. That is where the conductor is or go to the front of the station that is where the motor man is . They have 2 way radios to contact dispatchers who can notify NYPD or FDNY or other MTA issues.
    Summer weather is coming. Wear shorts or light clothes.
    Be careful for Severe weather. In NYC the weather changes fast.The National Weather Service sends out watches and warnings via the cell phone.

    I used Holafly last time in New York, but car service apps like Revel and Curb could not be registered (requires text SMS). Probably since Holafly only gives you data, (my phone number was still foreign). Next time I will probably buy a prepaid SIM card, which is also good if you want to make cheap calls within the US.

    In your thumbnail it looks like you are advising people not to go the Empire State Building. Personally, I've been there a couple of times and well, maybe I'm jaded, but for me the lobby is much more impressive than going to the top of the Empire State. The art deco design is spectacular. So, even if you don't go to the top, still check out the lobby.
    And are there tours of the Chrysler Building? That skyscraper has always intrigued me. I would love to explore it too.

    Thanks for alI that information. I am not a first timer however I was not sure about holafly since it is only 4G which I though might be slow especially in major cities. I prefer to stay at a hotel located in midtown Manhattan since I don't want to carry my daughters shopping bags all day. 😉

    We literally just got back and yeah we totally under estimated how expensive NYC really is. You could totally do it on a budget but it could still end up costing more compared to a full budget vacation anywhere else. You’d also be missing out on a lot what that city has to offer. Everywhere we went there were cool bakeries, drink places, restaurants etc. We saw the MJ Broadway show and that alone was $420 a ticket but it was very good(there something like an $80 fee on that ticket). It was an awesome city and I can’t wait to go back but be prepared to burn through money haha.
    My biggest shock was lunch on the last day, left the Met museum and walked a couple blocks down and saw a deli style spot that was packed so we popped in. I had a brisket sandwich(maybe 3 slices of brisket) with a coke and my wife had quiche with a coke as well. $78 with tax and tip lol

      why didn't you check the prices b4 you ordered, surely you could have figured out $78 is a rip off and gone somewhere else, or just watch a few you-tube video's on where is cheap in NYC. $78 for a sandwich a quiche and a few cokes??? c'mon

      @@charlesjay8818 You’re totally right and had we looked at the menu before we sat down I could’ve saved a bit of money but none the less we still would’ve paid a decent amount for a sit down lunch. We’re very fortunate that we were able to afford that trip so it’s a FWP complaint lol. Funny enough I was trying to find the place because there was a toy store beside it that my wife wanted to order from and I saw the google reviews and sure enough, the 3rd review down was someone complaining about the brisket sandwich and showing the lack of meat. The place is called E.A.T and yeah the reviews aren’t great for a reason.

      Absolutely no deli a few blocks down 5th Ave from the MET. You must have traveled east a few Avenues. Sorry you had a horrible lunch. Those prices are ridiculous even for Manhattan. You would have been better eating at the museum. Or grabbing a hot dog out front.

      That's why you should buy street food a lot rather than be eating in fancy sit-down restaurants (street food can be bought in the Outer Boroughs and _sometimes_ in Manhattan.)

      @@vanessazannis5523 the place we ate at was called E.A.T and it’s a 3 min walk from the Met if you go the fast way. Just googled it to see how far and the most recent reviews are all horrible still.

    Very helpful information Sarah 👍. I am planning to visit NYC in in late September or October. Do you know when fall usually begins in Central Park? I would love to see those colors. And how cold is it during that time of the year?

    • @johnnyboycassidy749
      @johnnyboycassidy749 Рік тому +1

      September a little too early if you want the colors. Mid October would be better. Not terribly cold (obviously you never know, weather is unpredictable) typical autumn day around that time most likely brisk in the 50s
