Hi, everyone.

Today we'll be talking about everyday American culture in the U.

S.

Last time we talked about American supermarkets and how their 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 and 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 $1890 or $2100 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, a bookstore 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 passed, you can expect to pay about $120.

And if you want to use a taxi, fares started $2.50.

New York City is known for its wide variety of delicious restaurants.

You confined 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.

When 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 $15 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 $100 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.
