If you intend to travel to New York on a shoe-string budget then the best option is to search for a cheap air ticket to New York on the web. Some tourists spend a lot of time jumping from one website to another in search of the cheapest fare and end up wasting a lot of time and ultimately get confused. The best way to get the cheapest fare is to sign up for fare alerts on any travel portal and grab air tickets as soon as the fare dips to the level you desire.
