When you’re traveling, it can be hard to save money, especially when it comes to meals. You might not want or have the ability to cook, and takeout can be expensive!
I hadn’t been to NYC since 2019 and I was happy to go back for a few writing events, including a flash fiction workshop where I wrote “Lost Ring.”
Next time you are in NYC here are money saving tips:
It’s not a mirage. $.99 pizza still exists in NYC. Check it out: 99 Cent Pizza, 246 E 14th St, New York, NY 10003. There are also $1.50 slices, too, around the city.
I ended up using the app Too Good To Go for nine meals, saving over $90 and the world from food waste.
From Too Good To Go, I got three pieces of pizza for $4.99 from Zazzy’s Pizza,73 Greenwich Ave, New York, NY 10014.
