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
