we'll be talking about everyday american
culture in the u.s
last time we talked about american
supermarkets and how they're unique this
time we're going to look at how much it
actually costs to live in new york city
when you think about america perhaps one
of the first things that might come to
mind is the bright lights and the fast
pace of the big city for sure in new
york city everyone who visits wants to
go to the big tourist locations central
park times square the statue of liberty
but how much does it actually cost to
live there in this video we're going to
talk about the actual living costs of
new york city
let's start with the most basic thing
you need to live in new york an
apartment without an apartment you can't
really say you live in new york city but
if you want to live in the city you
should be prepared to live in a small
space more than half of the apartments
in new york city are 700 square feet or
smaller that's about 65 square meters
this could be for a studio apartment
which has no walls between the kitchen
and the bedroom or it could be a one
bedroom apartment which does have a
separate bedroom
these kinds of places cost on average
one thousand eight hundred ninety
dollars or two thousand one hundred
respectively so expect to pay a pretty
high price if you want to live in the
city
but keep in mind that a separate payment
is required for heat and water in your
apartment for an average apartment about
915 square feet in new york city
about 145 is required for utility bills
this covers heating electricity water
and garbage for internet and phone
however that's a totally separate
payment
one of the best things about living in
new york city is how convenient things
are if you walk down the street you can
quickly find a coffee shop a bookstore
or a supermarket because of this people
who live there rarely have cars it's
quite expensive to keep one in the city
instead people use public transportation
like buses or the subway for a monthly
transit pass you can expect to pay about
120 dollars and if you want to use a
taxi fares start at 2.50
new york city is known for its wide
variety of delicious restaurants you can
find food from all over the world you
can get anything from a food cart hot
dog to an expensive steak dinner in new
york city because of this wide variety
however it's hard to determine a
specific average for a meal when living
in new york city you can imagine going
to concerts shows baseball games and so
on but the cost of these can get pretty
pricey if you want to see the latest
film in new york city you can expect to
pay about 15 per ticket if you want to
do something a little more exciting and
check out a yankees baseball game for
example it'll cost you about 50 a ticket
and if you want to check out broadway
and see one of the latest shows you can
expect to pay about a couple hundred
dollars for the best seats there are
lots of ways to determine the cost of
living in new york city but these are
just a couple important aspects so how

that are different and what else would
