As we learned in school, Benjamin Franklin once said: "A penny saved is a penny earned." If he were alive today, Franklin undoubtedly would love the many ways the internet enables people to find ways to save. Born in Boston, but better known for his years in Philadelphia, I think he would be excited at how much you can learn by traveling to new places. These days, a trip to a major city and its surrounding areas can be expensive, but there are ways to save significantly.
We show how expanding an airport search once saved us about 150,000 pennies (i.e., $1,500); how membership in a local zoo or museum can help you save on admission when visiting other places; how rundown railroad tracks have been transformed into an incredibly popular new park in Manhattan, and how crossing the Hudson River to the New Jersey side provides amazing, often breathtaking views of New York City.
