Regardless of the destination, most plane flights over 2 hours show a movie. If the flight is under 2 hours, then they usually show a few TV show clips on the flight.

How much do you think you can buy for $100? lol Unless you’re looking for some knock-offs, you’re not going to go home with 10 bags full of clothes for that amount of $. lol Go to Canal Street and ask them about their imitation Chanel, LV, etc handbags. They’ll cost you about $30 each. Bargain with them.

For designer sunglasses, you can go to Century 21 Dept. Store (across the street from the WTC site). They have different brands (Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, Banana Republic, etc.) that will cost you from about $20 - $50+ (depending on the brand). These are all authentic!

For cheap clothing, go to Old Navy. There are a couple of locations in Manhattan. One on Spring Street (in Lower Manhattan). One in Chelsea on 18th Street & 6th Avenue and another one on 34th Street between 7th Avenue and Herald Square.

A list of things to do in New York would be helpful, because once I’m there for six nights and I don’t want to end up doing nothing. Any advice on someone on a long summer vacation with this trip to look forward to?

I’ll be doing lots of walking and sight-seeing, and probably a go to a play or two. I don’t want to take a huge, heavy bag and would like to get different outfits from a few basics.

Any suggestions?

Take some a couple pairs of shorts, a pair of capris, a pair of dressy jeans, and a skirt. For tops, stick with basic t-shirts and tank tops, with one or two dressier tops for plays or dinners out. Add sneakers and a pair of ballet flats or strappy sandals (not flip-flops). As far as colors go, make sure that everything you pack can go with more than one other item. The colors should be neutral and coordinating. Most hotels will have guest laundry facilities.

Any recommendations? Would it be a lot cheaper to stay in Jersey or Newark or would the time and cost to travel to NY everyday cancel it out?

Staying in Jersey city or Newark is way cheaper than staying in the city. You can take the path from jersey city into the city doesn’t take long, for example from journal square, jersey city it takes bout 15-20 min.

I found these hostels www.nychostels.com, they are very cheap ($31 per night) but they’re too far away from Times Square (they’re located in Riverside, ’bout 20min from Times Square), so I was looking for advice on hostels with a similar rate per night but closer to Chelsea or Hell’s Kitchen or that area.
PS> I’m only looking for a place to take a shower and keep my luggage safe, I’m planning to spend the whole day and night out.

That’s one of the hardest times of the year to find anything available - let alone inexpensive. I advise you book asap.

NYC has very expensive upscale shops. VERY expensive. You will be paying $200-500 for a sweater at least.
Chicago has variety of different stores, but a high tax. over 10% I believe now.
If you want to go to the city and see a musical/play, go out to eat. but to shop you can get more for your money elsewhere. In the Chicago area I would go to Woodfield Shopping Mall in Schaumburg IL
