New York
New York is one of the most expensive places worldwide; hotels charge enormous sums for tiny rooms, restaurants are very expensive as well. Europeans do however benefit from the ailing Dollar lately; so many things appear to be moderately expensive. Especially shopping during sales times is unchallenged here, even though taxes have to be added on top of purchasing prices. Moreover tips are higher than elsewhere, while you pay approximately ten percent tip in Europe, it is common to fifteen to twenty percent here.
