\nTraveling around<\/strong>
\nYou probably know all these, but anyway: Momondo<\/a>,\u00a0Expedia<\/a>, Travelocity<\/a>, and Hotels.com<\/a> are good for hunting for good travel&accommodation deals, Kayak<\/a> and Flights.Google<\/a> are excellent flight price comparison websites, JetBlue<\/a> often offers promotions for flights on their page, TriPadvisor<\/a> is great for eliminating bad hotels by travelers’ reviews, and AirBnB<\/a> is a great alternative to hotels.<\/p>\n

If you have more time than money, check Priceline<\/a> for air travel: you can negotiate the flight price (and get it as low as to 60% of what you would pay), but once you make an offer and it is accepted, they immediately charge your card (and if they decline, you can’t make another reservation with them for the same day, so don’t start with 1$). In a sort of similar vein, HotWire<\/a> lets you book hotel rooms really cheap, but you can only choose the area and hotel class. Hot<\/a> is an interesting new startup, which offers last-minute discount accommodation in hotels.<\/p>\n

Getting to NY<\/strong>
\nNew York is a must and it is very close. Airfare and train are expensive, but there is a plethora of really cheap bus rides at Bolt Bus<\/a>, Mega Bus<\/a>, Lucky Star Bus<\/a>, Go Buses<\/a>, and even PeterPan<\/a>\/Greyhound<\/a> sometimes offer cheap rides online. Go Buses leaves conveniently from Alewife. All other buses leave from South Station. Just check where the final stop in NY is, since it varies and may be sensible to know when making a decision. Most buses have free, slow Wi-fi onboard.<\/p>\n
