"New York City a lot of things, but one of them is not cheap," was my standard line back to the days when I worked in a luxury hotel in Manhattan. It was sort of a lie. There are many bargains in the Big Apple, an incredible bargain if you know where to look. Just today I bought a 4-gigabyte SD card for $ 10, essentially a wholesale price. It is from a manufacturer you would know, and I bought it at the most famous high-end electronics store on the planet, you might not evenknow if you're not a pro. But I digress.
Back when I worked in the hotel, people would constantly complain about the high cost of doing business or visiting New York. Partly out of spite that people could afford a $ 500 per night in a hotel would complain about paying $ 20 for a pizza, I do not mind - I admit - sometimes sending them to expensive places, when I noticed that was cheaper and better alternatives. Actually, directed by hotel management to me to do so, because ifanyone sick to my favorite little pizza place on the 3rd Avenue, they would sue the hotel. When they get sick at Pizzeria Uno, a chain, they would sue Pizzeria Uno. I'm pretty sure that this kind of liability into account in decisions regarding the management of the hotel, what we were and not to be recommended to the guests. It could do with the corporate alliances had to be. That's what the cynic in me says, anyway.
Here is the funny thing: Many of these people could have saved himself isHundreds or even thousands of dollars by recruiting an independent company - not the big red bus type, but one that works for him. There are literally hundreds of us in the City That Never Sleeps. A guide to everything you can, (which really is the best of the best key, non-enterprises) approved places to eat and shop, navigate to the most interesting sights, such as public transport. In addition, you can have a guide like this, wasting valuable time by providing a touryour schedule, interests and budget fits. The fact that tour guides can point out all sorts of interesting architectural and historical details is just a bonus. Our true value is reflected in the mobile concierge service we offer.
They would not travel into the desert without a guide, I would like to survive without at least basic knowledge of maps and wilderness. Why would you travel to a major city without a guide? They are almost certainly eaten by wolves, if youto do, especially in New York.
