How To Pass A Day In New York City.

                                                                                         

Getting To New York:

Served by three major airports, two train terminals and a
massive bus depot, New York City is the most important
transportation hub in the northeastern USA. John F Kennedy
Airport (JFK), 15 miles (24km) from Midtown Manhattan
in southeastern Queens, is where most international
flights land. Recently voted the third-worst airport facility
in the world by business travelers, JFK is best avoided.

La Guardia Airport in northern Queens is 8 miles (13km)
from Manhattan and services mostly domestic flights. If
you're arriving or departing in the middle of the day, La
Guardia is a more convenient choice than JFK. Newark
Airport is in New Jersey, directly 10 miles (16km) west
of Manhattan.

Eating In New York:

Need some recommendations? Try the relaxed gourmet
cuisine of Portuguese restaurant Alfama on 551 Hudson
Street (especially on Wednesdays); the funky yet provincial
Italian hotspot, Max on 51 Avenue B; and in the summer
there is always the 79th Street Boat Basin for sunsets,
barbecued food and great atmosphere.

Getting Around In New York City:

There are 5 main ways to get around New York, they are;

By Subway, By Taxi, By Car, By Bus, By Foot

The subway isn't the cleanest form of transportation,
homeless people live in stations and even in subway cars;
but since everyone uses it all the time, central
Manhattan is generally considered safe.

Nighttime is not necessarily a dangerous time to travel
as long as you are taking a popular subway line, abstain
from flashy jewelry, and are not going to one of the outer
boroughs. Stay away from the platform's edge, and board
the train during non-rush hours from the off- peak waiting
area, marked at the center of every platform (this area
is monitored by cameras, and the conductor's car often stops
here).

Once you board, try to be in the same subway car as other
people you think are safe and stay near the middle to be
close to the conductor (you'll see his face from the
platform).

During rush hour and in crowded stations like 42nd
St.-Times Sq., hold your bag with the opening facing you
to discourage pickpockets. A real concern for women is
sexual molestation - there are quite a few crazies who
ride the subways to brush up or grope others. If this
happens, be loud in your indignation.

When dealing with taxi drivers, remember that they know
where they are going better than you, so don't presume
to know the best route to somewhere because it's what
you've heard.

Remember to tip at least 15% and a minimum tip of at
least 50 cents if not more.
