Guess where the country's most expensive hotel room is located. Nope, it's not in Vegas—it's the Ty Warner suite at the Four Seasons, New York, which debuted this summer at $30,000 a night. That's not Manhattan's only record-breaker: At $20 a head, the Museum of Modern Art is America's most expensive major art repository, and the $500 tab for two at sushi temple Masa must be the costliest plate of raw fish in the nation (drinks are extra, of course). But don't despair—the cost of a visit to New York doesn't have to reach such surreal heights. With the right itinerary and a little creativity, you can stay in a smartly designed hotel (with an indoor pool, no less), savor the recipes of celebrity chefs, fill your suitcase with designer duds, party to the wee hours, and museum-hop to your heart's content—with no second mortgage required.
