Take your pick of Manhattan hot spots – from the bright lights of Broadway and Times Square to the hip enclaves of the Meat Packers District, Hell's Kitchen, Tribecca, Harlem and the Lower East Side. Or head over to the bustling boroughs of Queens or Brooklyn for an alternative view of New York living. Here are some of the top picks Mozo’s money savvy travellers recommend you check out in the Big Apple with only a ‘Jackson’ ($20) in your wallet.

If the Yankees are playing when you’re in New York, you can’t get better value for your $20 than heading out to the Bronx and watching the game live at Yankee Stadium.
