hi everyone today we’ll be talking about

everyday American culture in the u.s.

last time we talked about American

supermarkets and how they’re unique this

time we’re going to look at how much it

actually costs to live in New York City

when you think about America perhaps one

of the first things that might come to

mind is the bright lights in the fast

pace of the big city for sure in New

York City everyone who visits wants to

go to the big tourist locations Central

Park Times Square the Statue of Liberty

but how much does it actually cost to

live there in this video we’re going to

talk about the actual living costs of

New York City let’s start with the most

basic thing you need to live in New York

an apartment without an apartment you

can’t really say you live in New York

City but if you want to live in the city

you should be prepared to live in a

small space more than half of the

apartments in New York City are 700

square feet or smaller that’s about 65

square meters this could be for a studio

apartment which has no walls between the

kitchen and the bedroom or it could be a

one-bedroom apartment which does have a

separate bedroom these kinds of places

cost on average one thousand eight

hundred ninety dollars or two thousand

one hundred dollars respectively so

expect to pay a pretty high price if you

want to live in the city but keep in

mind that a separate payment is required

for heat and water in your apartment for

an average apartment about 915 square

feet in New York City about $145 is

required for utility bills

this covers heating electricity water

and garbage for Internet and phone

however that’s a totally separate

payment one of the best things about

living in New York City is how

convenient things are if you walk down

the street you can quickly find a coffee

shop of books

door or a supermarket because of this

people who live there rarely have cars

it’s quite expensive to keep one in the

city instead people use public

transportation like buses or the subway

for a monthly transit pass you can

expect to pay about 120 dollars and if

you want to use a taxi fares start at

two dollars and fifty cents New York

City is known for its wide variety of

delicious restaurants you can find food

from all over the world you can get

anything from a food cart hot dog to an

expensive steak dinner in New York City

because of this wide variety however

it’s hard to determine a specific

average for a meal with living in New

York City you can imagine going to

concerts shows baseball games and so on

but the cost of these can get pretty

pricey if you want to see the latest

film in New York City you can expect to

pay about fifteen dollars per ticket if

you want to do something a little more

exciting and check out a Yankees

baseball game for example it’ll cost you

about $50 a ticket and if you want to

check out Broadway and see one of the

latest shows you can expect to pay about

a couple hundred dollars for the best

seats there are lots of ways to

determine the cost of living in New York

City but these are just a couple

important aspects so how does New York
