From Times Wire Services

The Big Apple may be a nice place to visit, but have your wallet handy--at $282 per day, it’s the sixth most expensive in the world and far outranks domestic competition, a survey said today.

The closest domestic competitor for the dubious honor was Washington, where a one-day visit for business travelers averaged $216, according to a survey of 55 cities prepared by Runzheimer International for Traveler magazine.

A day in town, for the purposes of the survey, meant three meals a day and a single room at the standard rate in a first-class hotel.

Los Angeles was ranked sixth in the survey, at $183 per day, with San Francisco seventh at $172.
