    Feel free to merge but I've trawled back 50 pages & couldn't seem a thread of any use.

    I'm planning to book 4 days in New York followed by 3 in Pittsberg as a surprise for my partners 30th in March. She has a sister in New York & a close friend in Pittsberg.

    What's the best, easiest & cheapest way of going about this? Bearing in mind we need our own accommodation? I literally wouldn't know where to start as it's going to be my first visit to the states! Thanks in advance for suggestions.

    There are plenty of threads about NYC hotels.

    Pittsburgh will be a lot cheaper than NYC. If you want to do research on hotels and things to do, places to eat etc, use tripadvisor.com and yelp.com

    If you want to drive to Pittsburgh, you could rent a car. It's about 6.5 hours from NYC, as long as you don't hit crazy traffic.

    expect it to be COLD in March in Pittsburg ! If it were me I would look at meeting your friend 1/2 way maybe Washington DC unless you specifically want to go to Pittsburg? Lots more to see and do in DC and readily accessible from both New York and Pittsburg.

    You could book an open jaw ticket - fly into New York and fly home from DC. Book direct with the airline and make sure you have your ESTA in place.
