Thank you very much for starting this conversation. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to charge more if you make it to NYC. People should expect that given how expensive it is to stay in a decent hotel. However, I would think that staying outside of the city would generate a good client base and also minimize your costs. There are a lot of guys outside of the city, with cars, who would love to see someone like you. And since many are married, they’d have to come to you.
If you do a long road trip, you could always make a few stops on the East Coast. Thanks again and good luck With your decision
