<$MTTrans phrase="Be Cautious When Buying ElectronicsBe Cautious When Buying Electronics

Apple_core_hotels_money
New York has always been the place to get a bargain. As a result, people like to buy cameras, cellular phones, video games, computers, iPod accessories in New York! However, buyers need to be very cautious about the stores from where they buy electronics. A lot of stores with no major brand around Times Square overprice what they sell, often without warranty, and the items won’t necessarily work! So be careful when buying something in that neighborhood. If you are looking for electronics, the safest and cheapest stores to buy are B&H for cameras and J&R. J&R will match any better price you’ll find at their authorized dealer. If you are looking for an iPod, go directly to the Apple store.

<$MTTrans phrase="Black Friday.......remember?Black Friday.......remember?

Apple_core_hotels_sales
Black Friday is upon us. It is important that you mark your calendars, set up your reminders...it is 23rd of November the day after Thanksgiving. Do you want to save some money? Make an early list for those Christmas gifts and save lots of money. Black Friday is frequently referred as the busiest shopping day of the year. Let me rephrase it: Busiest Savings Day.

Many retailers open early typically 5 A.M. and offer door buster deals and hefty discounts. Shoppers line up hours before stores with big sales open. Few items are sharply discounted. Be ready to experience shoulder to shoulder crowds. Get ready for the excitement.

Oh yes, do not forget to empty out your car trunks....you will have to need them!! Enjoy your savings.

<$MTTrans phrase="Find a cab at the AirportFind a cab at the Airport

Apple_core_hotels_advice
You are arriving in at La Guardia, Newark or JFK and it’s too late to take public transportation. Take a cab to Manhattan! Make sure to take a Yellow Cab only. You’ll be able to hail those Yellow Cabs in designated areas. If you cannot find them, ask a uniformed airport employee to help you. Visit nyc.gov for legal fares. Last but not least, on your way to the Yellow Cab line outside of the Airport, some people will ask you if you are looking for a cab. Do not follow them as they might overcharge you and they aren't as well regulated (or as safe) as Yellow Cabs.
