Hey buddy!
Hope you got some rest after that hectic NYE. Was fun chilling with you throughout the night. :)
I'd say go to the bank... whenever I convert money for travel I hit up my Scotia Bank... they seem to give me the best rate compared to those small exchnage shops
Enjoy NYC! :) |

sometimes it's cheaper just to withdraw directly from an ATM in the States rather than exchange your money before.
Most banks charge a flat fee for each withdrawl, usually between 3-5$ for that service, so if you take out the right amount, you would save money! It may be cheaper doing it this way than paying a percentage % at your bank or exchange place.
I did that going to Europe; 0$ cash, only Interac and it worked out great! |
