Best Answer

That is because things tend to cost more than in other states because of the large tourist attractions

Generally you'll find that places that tourists visit most are where prices are the highest. If you leave Manhattan, which is what most people mean when they say New York, the prices are the same as anywhere else. You have to make A LOT of money to live in Manhattan.
