Giants game definitely doable for you, they have cheap buses/trains to the Meadowlands from NYC. Even the absolute worst tickets for Cowboys-Giants will likely run 200$+ each though, so that blows up your budget a bit.
I guess budget could be $6,000 if it would make a big difference. I guess we would want to stay in Manhattan but I know very little about the city so don't really know... Very close friend of mine is in Brooklyn, but I don't want to have to take long cab rides into Manhattan or something frequently. We don't mind walking a bunch, or taking public transportation, and are generally pretty easy going. Don't need a great hotel and would prefer quality over large room.
This is really the only time we can both get time off but if this time of year is a real headache in NYC, I guess we could go somewhere else... What would you guys recommend for first timer looking for romantic, culture-filled, delicious sort of trip?
