## Verdicts

### [New York](https://viaggisingle.it/en/destinations/americas/united-states/new-york.md)

Yes, if your budget can take it: the subway runs 24/7, volunteer greeters will show you around for free, and New York State tops Spartacus's state-by-state index. The problem is price. A dorm bed averages about $43 a night and a cheap meal runs $28, so travelers on a tight budget need to plan where every dollar goes.

### [Montréal](https://viaggisingle.it/en/destinations/americas/canada/montreal.md)

Yes, especially between May and October, and if you want an easy first city in North America. Night buses fill the gap after the metro, central hostels have women-only rooms and the queer Village is two stops from downtown. The catch is a long, hard winter and a bill that creeps up because many prices are shown before tax.
