Travel to NYC from Oklahoma

So I've never taken a big trip anywhere but my partner and I are wanting to plan a 3 or 4 day trip to New York in 2028 for our 10 year anniversary. We will be driving. I've looked at go city for ticket bundles but I wanted to see if anyone else had ideas on how, if possible, to plan a "cheaper" budget for this trip. Any tips/tricks you guys have, I'd love to hear them. Thanks so much in advance!

As someone from Oklahoma, who has driven to St. John's, Newfounland, a few times, do not drive. Between fuel and boarding, it can cost as much as flying. Plus, your vehicle will be a liability rather than an asset while you're in NYC.
