New York Travel
Tips & Guide
New York is a big and a fast city, but a great place for a vacation. The people are friendly, and are willing to help if you get stuck somewhere. There are a few things to remember, while in New York. Walk on the right side, and if you need to stop, for whatever reasons, step aside. Things work fast in New York, and so must you. Have your MetroCard ready and in your hand before reaching the turnstile. On reaching the top of an elevator, or the stairs, move out of the way. If you need to ask a question from a pedestrian, make it short and fast. New Yorkers are busy, and may get irritated if you are slow.
Before you push your way in, let the people exit the subway. Move out of the doorway, as soon as you enter to keep the cold air out. You can get around New York City by walking, riding the subway or the buses, or by taking taxis. If you think you can manage, you may hire a car to drive it yourself.
How To Avoid Spoiling Your Trip
Many people on a short visit or on a vacation do not understand how things work in New York, and so spoil their trip in the bargain.
If you deplane at JFK, and you and your family are traveling with heavy luggage, your best option to save a lot of cash may be to take the AirTrain from JFK to the subway. You may, of course, have to transfer a couple times - often up and down stairs.
Suppose you wish to visit the Statue of Liberty you should find out, in advance what to do. If you do not wish to ruin this trip to the Statue and its museum, you need to book a day in advance, or reach early, at 8.30 am, to get those free passes. If you reach late in the day, and wish to take in the Statue as well as Ellis Island, just forget it.
When buying tickets for a Broadway show, trust only licensed and legitimate ticket brokers, such as Reedstickets.com, if you are unable to arrange tickets directly from the box office. Any other source, such as buying tickets from re-sale forums, auction sites – such as eBay, and from the scalpers around the theaters, etc is risky business, and you may lose a lot of money.
When taking in a show at Broadway, dress decently. Try not to talk loudly, and keep your cell phone on mute, or switch it off for the duration of the show. You certainly would not like to be ‘jumped at’ by your fellow theatergoer, and spoil your evening.
Do not skip museums thinking they are expensive. Check when the museums you wish to visit have free hours – many have a few hours a week free. Many museums operate under ‘suggested donation’ policies, where you are allowed to pay whatever admission price you wish to. The Met Museum allows you to pay a single penny for full access!
