Visit the Big Apples on weekends
We used to live in a small town in Connecticut, which is about 45 minutes away from the Big Apple. We would take a train downtown on Saturday morning and spent the weekend there browsing through the museums, galleries and sometime did some window shopping. We would bring sandwiches in the brown bags or buy the hotdogs from the street vendors for lunch.
The trains did not run on Sundays, so we usually got home on Saturday evening or Monday morning. We were cheapskate budget travelers, we never stay at any of the New York Hotels. :-)We either had a day trip without staying overnight or we put up at friends who live in the city.
