Okay so my school is going on a trip to N.Y.C for D.E.C.A. we are going for three days and we have to bring our own snack stuff. we wont be spending much time in our rooms ((4 to a room) we plan to share) and i need some ideas for quick snacks. we already have pringles and chex mix. we need some healthy stuff but we dont have access to a refrigerator(only an ice machine) so let me know what you think.
Answer
My daughter goes to NYC every year with her school and they stay there for 4 days too! Here's are what her and her friends bring every year to eat on the bus and to keep in the room, Hint, AVOID chocolate, it melts everytime! You might want to also bring along baby wipes (get the travel packs to keep in your bag, to wash your hands etc and hand sanitizer)
-Granola Bars
-Trail mix
-Bottled water (they also bring those single serving mixers that you put into water to make them flavored. Everyone brings a box and they all share)
-Goldfish -Pepperidge farm cheese flavored snack
-Kraft Cheese and Crackers. (individual packages with cheese on one and and either crackers or little bread sticks to dunk in the cheese)
-Juice boxes
-Pretzels
-Hard Candies (she says their great to pop in your mouth to fend off bad breath when you cant brush your teeth on the bus!..LOL)
-Fresh fruit such as Apples, Pears and Grapes. Avoid oranges and other fruits that you have to peel..they get messy
Good luck and have fun! oh, and PS....if your bringing along cash for food in NYC, most fast food restaurants, like McDonalds and Burger King charge more than the south. (I lived in NYC for 26 years before moving south and know this to be true, so bring extra money along! have fun!!!!

What Should I Overall Expect in New York?
WuTs BeHiN
I'm going to New York on July 17th with my high school and I just wanted to know what overall to expect.
* How much will I most likely spend on lunch. We're not going anywhere fancy for lunch. [[Our Breakfast and Dinner is Included in Our Travel Plan]]
~ Where is the best place to buy souvenirs?
* Also do you have any tips for when we go to China Town. I really want to buy some purses. How much do prices range in. And is there like one vendor that has the best deals and products?
~ What Is Little Italy like?
* And is New York dirty like with rats on the street?
Thanks just answer what you can.
Answer
Hey ok I accually live in NY now (5th AVE. Is a famous place, im only a block away :) anyway on lunch expect for something good/descent go to a deli or something so say around $7.00, also try to suggest to the person your in a group with to buy water where you live now because a bottle of water in Manhattan is anywhere from $2.50 to 5.99. Also always bring snacks because the vendors are not always clean ( you can tell by just looking at them) but most of them are clean. Souvenirs I say go on 5th Ave because there are plenty of souvenirs there for you and if not there, there are little store scattered throughout the city with NYPD OR NYC tee-shirts, ect. Ok now China Town--pay attention. Usually the guys/girls with the bags are the with kinda like tarps and garbage bags(they look homeless). Always say, "i want to see the good stuff" also remember to negotiate because they will give you a high price but you can knock it down. ALSO WHEN YOU GO INTO A BAG STORE AND THEY SAY GO TO THEIR VAN OR WHEN YOUR ON THE STREET AND SOMEONE SAYS THEY HAVE BAGS IN THEIR VAN STAY FAR AWAY! IT IS DANGEROUS AND THEY ARE TRYING TO SCAM YOU. NEVER GO TO AN UPSTAIRS OF A PLACE, THAT TO IS DANGEROUS. just use your head, people will try to scam you. remember to say with many people and in Chinatown NEVER get split up. Little Italy is nice but it is mostly resteraunts and souvineer shops ect. Good shopping is done on Madison Ave, 5th Ave, South Street Sea Port, and Chinatown. New York is a bit dirty but also it is a city so it is kinda nasty but not bad and there are people who clean the garbage so if you do your part to keep it clean it stays nice. Also there are no rats on the street, but it is possible cause there can be rats anywhere even where you live. Overall New York is a BEAUTIFUL city and if you handle yourself well you will have a great time. Also never act goofy or point or you will get some nasty looks. For fun go to the South Street Seaport at night to see the sun set, its beautiful. Central Park is nice this time of year because there are sometimes concerts (Jazz) (nothing that great but its something to do). Anyway have a great trip, follow my tips and it will be amazing. Also so you don't look dumb don't act like such a tourist because us NYer's don't walk around with cameras around our necks. But remember take lots of Pics! Enjoy your trip
