<p>Just conserve money, and act as if you live in NYC and were born there,</p>
<p>I have lived in nyc my entire life and you can spot a tourist a mile away. which makes people want to take advantage.</p>
<p>Guys walks into store wants a product, owner says for you $3.
I walk in right behind that person and I buy the same product for $1.</p>
<p>Best is with street vendors, they charge like $3 for a hot dog and $2.50 for a drink, while i usually get them for 2 for $3 and it includes a drink.</p>
