The subway is $2.50 a ride. So for 4 days, it'll probably be $20-$30. A weekly pass costs $30, so if you plan on riding a lot, just get the weekly pass.

For food, it depends on the specific restaurant. Well, to give you an idea, Applebee's (a chain restaurant) offers 2 appetizers for $20, and then Olive Garden offers 2 appetizers for $25. If you eat at an ethnic restaurant, it would likely be cheaper, while a fancy restaurant would obviously cost more.

NYC can be done vary cheap or can break the bank depending on what you are doing. Here are some general prices

Subways: $2.50 for a single ride or $30.00 for an unlimited 7 day pass on subways and most buses.

Food: You can find fast food like McDonalds or go to a typical restaurant. We usually find cheaper options for lunch and stay around $7-10, then for dinner find something for around $12-17.

Fun: You can visit tons of different museums or attractions from $10-20 per activity.

Etc: There are always costs for unexpected things but probably 5-10 will suffice.

In total I usually plan on 50-100 per day while I am there.

Hope this helps.

New York is so expensive. taking the subway alone could cost you ten bucks a day. I would assume your going to spent at least $50 - $100 a day.
