5 Tips for New York City Tourists (video)

August 10, 2012 by Tawanna 5 Comments

If you’re going to be visiting New York City in the summer time, and you want to avoid being elbowed by a local, standing in long check-out lines at your hotel, and a few other key suggestions, watch this video of 5 tips for New York City tourists from a New Yorker.

Here’s a wrap-up if you don’t have 6 minutes to watch. No worries, I won’t take it personally.

1. Avoid summer travel if you can.

2. Don’t stop in the middle of the sidewalk to sight-see. Seriously.

3. If you pay for a cab with your credit card, it’s an automatic 20% tip. Use cash-ola!

4. If you drive into the city and park at a hotel, parking will usually run you $50-$60 per day. Don’t do it!

5. If you’re flying out on Sunday, take an early morning flight to avoid ginormous crowds.

    Yes on the walking pet peeve! That must drive New Yorkers absolutely bonkers.

    Good tips. Wish I’d heard what you have to say about hotel elevators before I almost MISSED MY FLIGHT!

    Yes Lori, the walking one is of particular annoyance..especially if you work on Wall Street (my past life) and have a very short amount of time for lunch or are trying to catch your 4:15 train.

    As for the elevator, yeah, something to consider next time. Thanks for stopping by.

    I have no intention of going to New York in the next few years but I started watching this video and loved it. It’s always great to have an insiders view and travel tips and you have a great personality for sharing these ones!

      Thank you Terri! Hopefully, I didn’t scare you off – New York isn’t all that bad, you just need to know how to navigate it.
