💰 How far does your money go?
A craft beer in a Manhattan bar costs around €8. A pizza slice from a street counter runs €4–5. It adds up faster than at home. But there is value in every city if you eat like a local: a halal chicken and rice plate in NYC for €10, a full Cuban lunch in Miami's Little Havana for €12, a bowl of pho in Boston's Chinatown for €9. Budget around €60–70 a day for food and you will eat very well in all three.
🌆 The three cities
Miami
Miami is two cities sharing the same postcode. South Beach is Art Deco facades, white sand, and €12 cocktails at sunset. Then there is the rest: Wynwood's open-air murals, Little Havana's €3 Cuban coffee, the Everglades 45 minutes west. September through November is warm (26–30°C) with lower crowds than the peak winter months. From December, Miami enters its dry season: 20–25°C, blue skies, and the best weather in North America.
New York
September in New York is warm (24°C) and manageable. October drops to 15°C with clear skies. November gets cold. January and February average 2–5°C and can feel brutal with the wind. If you are going in winter, layer properly and the city rewards you: no queues at the Empire State, cheaper hotels, and Central Park in the snow. The High Line, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Staten Island Ferry are free.
Boston
Boston is smaller than it gets credit for. You can walk almost everything in two days: the Freedom Trail, Beacon Hill, the North End's Italian bakeries, Fenway Park. September is warm at 22°C. October is spectacular for foliage. November through February is cold, dropping below freezing, with a genuine chance of snow. Spring starts slowly in March (4–8°C), but flights drop in price.

🎯 What to do
Miami
Wynwood Walls — Miami's open-air street art museum. Over 35 murals by internationally recognised artists, free to explore. Go in the evening when the neighbourhood comes alive.
Little Havana — Calle Ocho: a €3 Cuban coffee, a game of dominoes in Máximo Gómez Park, and some of the best value food in the city. A cultural world away from South Beach.
South Beach at dusk — Walk Ocean Drive as the lights come on. Art Deco facades, relentless people-watching, and a kind of glamorous absurdity that hits differently at sunset.
Everglades airboat tour — 45 minutes from the city, a completely different world. Alligators, sawgrass prairies, and absolute silence apart from the engine. Unlike anything in Europe.
New York
The High Line — 2.5 kilometres of elevated park on a disused railway line above the west side of Manhattan. Art installations, city views, and one of the best free walks in the city.
Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO — Walk the bridge from Manhattan, descend into DUMBO for the classic skyline view framed between the two towers, then stroll along the Brooklyn Heights promenade.
Central Park — All 843 acres. Rent a bike, take out a rowing boat, or just walk. Free, always worth it, and genuinely one of the world's great urban spaces.
The Edge — The highest outdoor observation deck in the Western Hemisphere, 335 metres above Hudson Yards. At sunset, hard to beat.
Boston
The Freedom Trail — A 4km red-brick walking path connecting 16 sites from the American Revolution. Start at Boston Common, end at Bunker Hill. Free, self-guided, and genuinely interesting.
Fenway Park — The oldest Major League Baseball park still in use (opened 1912). Watch a Red Sox game or take the stadium tour.
North End bakeries — Boston's Italian neighbourhood. Get a cannolo from Mike's Pastry or Modern Pastry, argue about which is better, and wander along Hanover Street.
New England Aquarium — One of the best aquariums in the US. Giant ocean tank, penguin exhibit, and harbour seal pools. A solid afternoon in any weather.
🗺️ Where to go from here
From Miami
Key West — 3.5 hours by car or 45 minutes by flight. The southernmost point of the continental US: pastel streets, Hemingway's house, and famous sunsets at Mallory Square.
The Bahamas — 30 minutes by plane. Nassau or the Exumas for reef snorkelling and turquoise water that looks like it was designed for Instagram.
Orlando — 4 hours by bus or 1 hour by flight. Disney, Universal, Kennedy Space Center. An entirely separate trip on its own merits.
From New York
Philadelphia — 1.5 hours by Amtrak. The Liberty Bell, Reading Terminal Market, and cheesesteaks. A solid day trip or one-night extension.
Washington DC — 3 hours by train. Nearly all Smithsonian museums are free. The National Mall alone fills a full day.
Niagara Falls — 8 hours by bus or 1 hour by flight from JFK. The Canadian side is better. Worth the overnight trip.
From Boston
Cape Cod — 1.5 hours by car. 560 kilometres of beaches, seafood shacks, and lighthouses. Quieter from September onwards.
Newport, Rhode Island — 1.5 hours by bus. Gilded Age mansions, sailing history, and cliff walks above the Atlantic.
Salem — 45 minutes by commuter rail. The witch trials, the Peabody Essex Museum, and the best Halloween atmosphere in the US if you go in October.
