My planned summer trip to New York

This summer I am going to take a trip to New York  which is an astonishing city in the east coast of America and a central point for numerous tourists. The most densely populated city in the US is also known as the land of the American Dream. Many immigrants travel to the US to fulfill their dreams, unfortunately often for nothing.  Also I chose to travel to the US to fulfill my personal dream:

•  to get to know the American culture
• the American lifestyle
• and to make friends with inhabitants there.

For this reason, I am going to take a city trip to New York at the beginning of August for two weeks.  I'm going to stay in a youth hostel in the middle of the centre which costs are approximately 50 € per night, including breakfast. That's a very good deal because normally the prices are much higher for staying overnight in the middle of New York. My flight is booked too, it's a direct flight from Vienna to the Central Airport at 10:00 am on the third of August. All in all, I have to pay 1000 € for it. 

I will drive to Vienna by car. For saving money I want to place the car by my relatives, who surely are willed to drive me to the airport.  By arriving in the city, at all events I want to visit the Statue of Liberty ,which was the first glance immigrants took from far away, and afterwards I want to relax because of the jetlag and take the opportunity to eat anything. The following days I would like to see the Empire State Building and visit the musical "Cat" on the Broadway. I have also heard that the sight from the Rockefeller Center should be amazing. Another day I would like to use my leisure time to visit different museums, for instance the "American Museum of Natural History", the worlds' largest museum of this issue. Of course the IMAX cinema is a requisite, and because of my strong interest in animals I also have to visit the Bronx Zoo. There are a lot of exceptional animal species which are threatened of extinction. I think, most of these sightseeing I will manage by tram or by train.

Once a vacation I am going to borrow a bike to drive along the centre because that's the best opportunity to see the marvelous city. At least one time, I also want to venture to go out at night. I have heard the nightlife in America should be amazing. I want to search for a disco to make party and to chum up with Americans. A problem is that I have to pay attention to my money I am going to spend. I have planned for my trip to spend 2.500 € and not more. Because of the expenditure in the hotel and the flight there is not much left, except for 800 €. So, I have to use it economical. Probably it's not possible to visit a restaurant every evening. Mercifully, there are enough fast food chains between which I can choose by shortage of money. However, I think that the city trip will be worthwhile and I'm really looking forward to it.
