Cheap Holidays to New York, USA - Just Stay in New Jersey
For cheap holidays to New York USA try staying in New Jersey. The Econo Lodge in Jersey City is only $69.99 a night and the Red Carpet Inn just down the street is only $77.81. This is an alternative since Jersey City is only 1.8 miles from New York City. Taking a train across into Manhattan is easy and presto you are there in the Big Apple.
Hoboken and Union City are another two cities just across the river to the west of Manhattan. Staying in New York would be nice and there are some low cost accommodations for around $100, if you want a private room. The public transportation is more reasonably prices at under $9 for an all day fare than paying an extra $50 to $100 for a room in New York City, but that's just me.
Everyone has heard the jokes that New Jersey is the arm pit of New York, but don't let that fool you. The Giants play there and so do the Jets, so it can't be that bad.
If you must stay in New York, then may I suggest Brooklyn or the Bronx. There is a lot of history there along with being part of New York City.
It is true almost all of the major attractions are in Manhattan when it comes to New York City but that does not mean you have to stay there, just a visits is generally enough for most people to say I have been on cheap holidays to New York USA.

New Jersey Nets 09-10 Outlook
The New Jersey Nets (possibly the New York Nets soon) finished the 08'-09' regular season with a 34-48 season. The Nets weren't a good team on the road or at home either because they had losing records no matter where they played. The Nets were 19th in scoring and 17th in scoring defense.
The Nets leading scorer was Devin Harris at 21.3 points per game who had an all-star season. Harris has emerged as one of the best point guards in the Eastern Conference. Harris has spent the majority of his career with the Dallas Mavericks - the Mavs probably regret trading him away because he is young and has improved his scoring averaged every season. The Nets did lose Vince Carter - who now plays for the Orlando Magic. Carter played a huge part in helping the Nets reach the NBA Finals in 02' & 03'.
The Nets are in the process of rebuilding their team. There are many questions that need to be answered before the Nets become a power in the East again. Will they move to Brooklyn? Will they get a new arena any time soon? Can they sign a big time free agent (Lebron James)? This is definitely a transition period for the Nets.
The Nets do have a few good, young players they can keep and hope someday they turn into very good or even great players - Chris Douglas-Roberts, Brook Lopez, and Terrence Williams.
Not much is expected from the New Jersey Nets this season - they have one really good player in Devin Harris and the rest are just average so far. Most would expect the Nets win the same number of games this season as well, 32-35 range. Hopefully the Nets keep Devin Harris for the long term and eventually add a free agent to take the Nets to a NBA Finals level they once were.
