Money-Saving Tips
Forget the downtown waterfront. Check into Ghent or Ocean View and the identical room drops 30-40% off the bill.
Grab the Tide light rail for $2 a ride instead of tapping a rideshare. Each hop across downtown leaves you with roughly 70% more cash in your pocket.
Queue at the food trucks lining up near Norfolk State or Old Dominion. Lunch lands at $8-12, a clear cut below the $15-20 you'll surrender at a sit-down spot.

Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
A taxi from the airport to downtown demands $35-45; the light rail charges only $2, so the cab ride costs about 90% more.
Plant yourself for every meal at the waterfront restaurants and you'll fork over 2-3x what the kitchens two blocks inland are asking.
Book late during Navy events or graduation weekends and watch rates increase 100-150%.
