NEW YORK CITY

TRAVEL TIPS

for first-timers

1

do not overstuff  your itinerary

You have to see the Statue of Liberty, visit Central Park, head to Times Square at night, and walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. You have to catch a Broadway show too!

2

fill your itinerary wisely

One of the best New York City tips and tricks is to fill out your itinerary with fun activities, pitstops, and eateries close to places you are already visiting.

3

take the subway

One of the best NYC travel tips for navigating the subway is to use Google Maps to find the best route. It’s not foolproof, but nine times out of ten you will get where you want to go.

4

learn how nyc streets work

You probably already know this from movies or friends, but one of the top things to know before going to New York that will help you get around is the New York City grid system.

5

learn how to see the attractions on a budget

If you’re short on funds, hop on the free Staten Island ferry which sails right passed Lady Liberty so you can take a closer look.

6

BROADWAY TICKETS OPTIONS

You can book discounted tickets through TKTS online, on the phone, or in person. Head to their booth in Time Square where they release heavily discounted tickets for performances that night (and the next day’s matinee performance, when applicable).

7

DINING IN NEW YORK CITY

You can probably find international cuisine from every single country in New York. But the classics are bagels, pizza slices, diner breakfasts, hot dogs, cheesecake, and pastrami deli sandwiches.
