I dont think I ever have enough time to see everything in the city, there is so many things to do! So have as much time as you can!
Anything go wrong during the trip?
We were struggling to find a parking spot in the city.
How was the food?
New York City is a gigantic city with thousands and thousands of restaurants. You can find anything from there! We fell in love with Le Bernardin. Le Bernardin is a French seafood restaurant in Midtown Manhattan. Montauk: Two my favorite restaurants in Montauk was The Dock and Montauket. the Dock had the best seafood and environment and you can catch the best sunset in the Montauket.

Transportation Tips?

Lodging
Staying in the city is expensive but were lucky to have friends there who offered us a place to stay. That saved us maybe half of our budget. I would highly recommend to book a room from Airbnb because hotels are sometimes overpriced. Remember to look up where your room is located because location is very important in the city. Good hotel option: the Tribeca Grand Hotel is one of the most chic hotels in New York City.
Montauk Manor Hotel is building with a lot of history. It is little bit more expensive but the view from the hill is stunning. Surf Club Montauk: Montauk Beachfront Resort if you are looking for a place by the beach. Also Airbnb is a good place to find a room.
