Amusing ad from the St. George Hotel in Brooklyn. $9.50/week with a gym, and steam room and salt water pool, and ‘gay social events’ (how the language does change). At that time in NYC a subway ride was 5 cents. Inflation is a bear, for sure.

I remember riding the NY subways in 1970 or so for 20 cents. Guess even that was a big leap from 5 cents though.
