NY: Traveling on a Tight Budget (NY Trip Part 2)

Friday, January 24, 2025


One my of goals when travelling is to make the most out of the expenses. I am travelling on a particular budget I set. I do not want to spend too much, but at the same time I do not want to miss anything during the trip just because I am sticking on my set budget. As much as possible I try to decipher the negotiable and non-negotiable during the trip and so far I have happy and memorable moments and contented with all the experiences.

Here is a list of places we visited on the second day in NY:

The Brooklyn Bridge. It was a long walk. The bridge looked so vintage. Wow!


Staten Island Ferry and Statue of Liberty. We got free rides back and forth on a boat ship. We saw the Statue of Liberty from a far. We did not get to explore the island and I wished we could have. 



Wall Street. The New York Stock Exchange building was impressive. Wow! It was a street for stock exchange.



Charging Bull. The charging bull statue was also at Wall Street. I was not so fond of taking a photo with it, so I decided not to, and I was fine with it.



9/11 Memorial. There were two huge water fountain or waterfalls in place of the two tall building in memory of those who died on the 9/11 bombing of the twin towers.



New York Public Library. It was closed and just took a picture outside for posterity sake. Yay!



Grand Central Terminal. It was big. So huge! So vintage! Wow! So grand!





Time Square. meh :( rainy :( cold :( I have to say it is a Divisoria of New York. In the Philippines, we have a shopping district called Divisoria and it is somewhere in Manila. 




The foods we tried:
Churros. They were cold already. It cost me $5 to buy 3 pieces of Churros. I had been curios how a churros would taste like and finally got to try it at the Brooklyn Bridge.
Nathan's Chili-dog. Cheesy and meaty hotdog in a bun. Yum!
Mcdonald's. Fastfood for y'all! hehe We wanted Jollibee, but could not get into the closed parameter around Time Square because of the ball drop. So we just settled for Mcdonald's that day.
Starbucks. Yey! Chocolate chip creme frappe hehe 


“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. ~Matthew 6:19-20
