Conseils aux voyageurs

Se déplacer dans les environs

Subways are the fastest and cheapest way to get around.

the 'R' train is the closest local stop, with express trains into Manhattan 1 stop away at Atlantic Avenue.
Manières d'économiser

Check for days when museums and other places are free.

NY has so much to see and do, it's best to check on line before you come, so you have somewhat of a plan.
Que faut-il apporter ?

Definitely have comfortable shoes, this is a walking city.

Even just walking the streets to see the architecture is an event in itself.
