The air ticket that brought me to New York this time,
I bought it just 24 hours before the plane took off.
But as you can imagine,
a planned trip so few hours in advance, it's exciting, it's thrilling,
it fills you with adrenaline, but at the same time it has its consequences.
When you arrive at the place,
you realize that you are prepared for very few things.
In this video I will show you how much or how little you can enjoy the capital of the world
when in reality you have very little budget.
♪♪♪
You have to be prepared for the subway
and for that you have to buy a Metro Card
in any of the machines that are outside the stations.
And here we have the popular Metro Card, which will become your best friend
when you are in this city.
Let's find out how much a trip in the New York subway costs.
It costs $ 2.75.
♪♪♪
It is very important that you are located on the map,
because at this moment we are up here,
And we go to the lowest point in Manhattan, towards the Wall Trade center
And look at the number of lines the subway has,
You can be lost if you are not prepared.

30 minutes later...
Woao! How tall is the new World Trade Center
and below is the new Oculus, designed by the architect Santiago Calatrava.
I want to share with you my first live impressions, I have not entered.
At least it is free to know the Oculus, come.
It has double doors as always.
We open the second door.
It is heavy!
Woao!
Beautiful!
An underground shopping mall...
And let's explore what's here.
♪♪♪
I love it because the lower level has direct access to the subway,
that is, you can get off the train, turn around, and there is the mall.
♪♪♪
To enter the World Trade Center observatory there are three types of tickets.
The standard, the combined, and the all inclusive.
Come prepared, because you can buy the ticket outside
making the line and enduring the cold.
Or you can also pre-purchase your ticket through the internet.
Without a doubt it is an amazing experience.
How many times do I say "amazing" in this video?
Going up in the elevator to the 102nd floor.
This is amazing!
We are leaving the elevator, we are already on the 102nd floor
That was amazing!
Woao!
The first time you see New York from above.
Woao!
It was great!
Having the city in front of you...
Without waiting for it... It is impressive!
♪♪♪
The climbing experience is amazing, but attention if you suffer a bit of vertigo,
because it made me a little dizzy,
even lean on the glass, knowing I'm 102 stories tall.
You have to come,
have a little patience, because there are always a lot of people trying to take a picture
here in the observatory.
♪♪♪
Fun fact, if you are hungry or thirsty,
and you are here at 102 floors above sea level.
I recommend that you wait a little while to return to the street
Because the prices are all very expensive.
For example, a water that you can find down there, on the ground, at $ 1.
Up here it costs $ 5.
And all prices are exponentially in the same order.
♪♪♪
And in front of the tower is the monument
reminiscent of the victims who died in the attack on the twin towers on September 11.
♪♪♪
$ 24, my dear rockets, is what the ticket cost
to enter to The 9/11 Tribute Museum.
But look, just look the line, the long line to get the ticket.
I think, folks, that we will do this plan on the next visit to New York.
♪♪♪
It seems super appropriate to give you the first gold data to survive in New York.
To be recording inside this cemetery...
Because what we least want is to die.
No, at least not yet, right?
You have to leave your hotel, your house, your hostel
of your Airbnb, well prepared, with a backpack.
Because it is very likely that when you go out
you will not know when you will return.
We have to keep our balaclava, the jacket,
if we have to go to the bathroom obviously toilet paper.
And it is essential to always have a bottle of water on hand
because everywhere we are thirsty.
I don't know if you agree with me but I love new experiences,
I love to try everything, I do not keep the opinion of others,
I want to have my own!
Friends, and that's why I want you to accompany me at this moment to an amazing experience.
I just found a mango coke in the street.
What do you think of the mango? Do you like it or not?
But I don't know how good a idea it may be that they mixed it with coke,
but join me in this momentous moment.
Let's open the can, see that it is brand new
I have not opened it to show it to you...
Tension music!
Let's taste it...
Hey, yes... I like mango coke.
But I can tell you that it doesn't taste like coke,
its flavor is soda, mango soda, which is not bad
because I really like this fruit.
Cheers!

As you know, I come from the Mayamero heat and the Venezuelan tropics
and when the high temperatures run through your veins since you were born,
the least you have in your closet when you come to face the hellish cold...
It's a pair of gloves!
I promise you this is not advertising, I had to come to an H&M store for emergency.
Because, dear rockets, when temperatures touch zero degrees...
You can't have bare hands.
One of the most difficult tasks,
which one never imagines is having to write on your cell phone
and you can't move your hands because you have them practically frozen.
So, this boy that you know, native of the land of heat, Valencia, Venezuela.
And that is here today, in the Big Apple.
From this moment, on for the first time in my life I have a pair of gloves.
A mandatory stop has become reaching Broadway Avenue
and come to the Casey Neistat Studio, that white place behind me,
3 6 8 Broadway, many people are here around me
also taking photos, recording videos,
or hoping that with luck, Casey will leave the door of her shop
to take a picture with him, record videos, ask for an autograph, ask him for advice
and maybe it appears in this video.
Comment here if you also know who Casey Neistat is.
♪♪♪
I was peeking out here through the door and it seems that behind this place
they are preparing as a shop,
Notice that there are other people also like me
peeking to know what's inside.
Hey! Someone just got out of there, but it's not Casey.
I imagine that soon they will open, I do not know, a souvenir shop of this famous place.
♪♪♪
It got dark, as you may be seeing,
It is very common for this to happen at this time of year.
Since 5:00 p.m. it is quite dark.
And another problem I never imagined about New York
is the issue of going to the bathroom.
Friends, one who is a tourist,
walks through the streets, starts drinking coffee,
drinking hot chocolate, any drink...
And obviously if the day goes by, it will make you want to go to the bathroom at any time.
It is logical, we are human...
I can't believe how hard it has been for me to find an open bathroom.
Logically there are bathrooms in any store, restaurant, wherever you are,
but this is usually reserved for customers of this place.
So, what ends up happening is that you have to enter any place,
buy anything, spend your money...
I don't know... A glove that costs $ 9.
It's complicated, this city that is designed for tourists...
They should think about having public toilets anywhere
And this, if you are not prepared, can become a serious problem.
♪♪♪
And from the famous ice skating rink of Bryant Park, here, in New York.
I want to talk to you about what is the most important topic for me,
that you have to be prepared when you come to the Big Apple.
And it has to do with the economy.
Friends, here, amazing but true, everything is much more expensive.
And, I don't know if I didn't remember it,
New York is about 30% more expensive than Miami, in every way.
In the sense when you go to buy something to eat, to drink.
I am going to do an experiment so that you realize what I am talking about.
I will open the Uber application to order one of these cars from Bryant Park,
where I am right now, up to Times Square which is a few blocks away.
We are going to put that we are going to the Sheraton hotel that is right there.
An Uber X costs $ 9.20.
The race is right there, it's less than five minutes.
In Miami, this race would probably cost $ 5, $ 6 maximum.
The economy issue in New York can drive you crazy
if you don't consider it.

It says a very popular saying: "War warned does not kill soldier".
And that is precisely the intention of this video.
Tell you about all the things that have surprised me about New York,
not only because I didn't imagine them,
but because I didn't investigate them either.
So, obviously the next time you come to the Big Apple
keep in mind all these tips that I just gave you
