TRAVEL:
We will travel to and from the city as a group on the Long Island Railroad. Each day we will travel as a group on busses and trains to The House on Beekman in the South Bronx as well as to our dinners, sights, and lodging locations each evening. The LIRR tickets will be covered with the cost of the trip. Students will pay their own way on subways and busses.

FOOD:
We will eat out in NYC as affordably as possible. We will get food from delis, markets, cafes, fast food etc. for breakfast and lunch and then have some fun finding affordable dinner spots to sit down together. Students will need money accessible for their breakfast and lunch purchases but dinner costs will be covered with the cost of the trip.

OUTINGS: 
Once our group is formed, we can discuss some special evening outings to make the most of our time in NYC.
