61 details you might have missed in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'

• Warning: There are major spoilers ahead for " Spider-Man: No Way Home ," now in theaters.
• Insider rounded up the details you might have missed in Tom Holland 's third standalone Marvel movie. 
• There are many callbacks to the standalone Spidey franchises led by Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield.

The movie picks up at the very end of "Spider-Man: Far From Home," but this time around, MJ is wearing the broken black dahlia necklace that Peter bought in Venice on their summer trip.

This is less of an Easter egg and more of a consistency detail, in which the original moment from "FFH" doesn't exactly align with the continuation scene in "NWH."

A civilian pointing out that Spider-Man is "just a kid" is a callback to the same line being uttered in Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man 2."

In both movies, the line was spoken when the public found out that Peter, a teen, is Spider-Man.

There's a billboard for "Rogers: The Musical," the fictional Broadway show seen on the Disney+ series "Hawkeye," in Times Square.

You can see the billboard at the start of the movie when Peter swings away with MJ to avoid the media circus that erupts when everyone learns he's Spider-Man.

The musical was featured more prominently on episode one of "Hawkeye," which premiered in November.

On the show, Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) went to see the musical with his kids around the holidays. The "Hamilton"-esque musical is a smash hit about Steve Rogers/Captain America, whose post-"Endgame" fate is still largely unclear.

One of the musical numbers is inspired by the 2012 Battle of New York and shows actors pretending to be the Avengers as they dance and sing on stage.

The inclusion of the ad in "NWH," and the fact that the movie concludes around Christmastime in NYC, confirms that the film takes place during a similar time frame as "Hawkeye."

Mr. Delmar's deli, which was destroyed in "Homecoming," is now called Delmar's III.

Peter's a regular customer at the deli, which boasts the "best sandwiches in Queens." During a fight with a bunch of criminals robbing ATMs, the bank gets blown up and the deli, which is across the street, gets burned down. 

In a deleted scene from "FFH" that appears on the home release as part of a short film called "Peter's To-Do List," Peter goes to Delmar's, which has now been rebuilt, and buys a travel adapter and duel headphone adapter for his trip to Europe.

In "NWH," it looks like the deli has undergone another face-lift because the awning appears different this time around.

Peter puts on his "I survived my trip to NYC" T-shirt that he wore in "Homecoming."

In "Homecoming," he was seen in the shirt when he returned home after the fight with Vulture on the Staten Island Ferry.

In "NWH," Peter hastily changes out of his Spidey suit and into the T-shirt when he runs home after his identity is revealed.

The same news anchor who's appeared on screens throughout other Marvel projects also shows up in "NWH."

Pat Kiernan is a real-life news anchor who has appeared as himself in Marvel films like "The Avengers," "Iron Man," Netflix's "Daredevil" show, and even Andrew Garfield's "The Amazing Spider-Man." 

Recently, he showed up on the series premiere of "Hawkeye" on Disney+.

In "NWH," we see him on a TV in Peter and Aunt May's apartment at the start of the movie, when the building gets surrounded by news helicopters trying to get a glimpse of the teen superhero. 

There's a sneaky nod to Night Monkey on the news.

Peter wore the stealth suit while in Prague in "FFH," and Ned came up with the name Night Monkey.

In "NWH," a banner at the bottom of the TV screen reads: "Interpol issues arrest warrant for the Czech Republic's 'Night Monkey.'"

There's also a nod to New Asgard and a potential hint at what fans can expect from "Thor 4: Love and Thunder."

During the news broadcast, a headline appears on the bottom of the screen that reads, "Political turmoil continues in New Asgard as Z..." The scene cuts off before fans can get further details. 

The upcoming "Thor" movie will reportedly star Russell Crowe as Zeus, so it's possible that the headline was teasing his character. 

Peter has a charging station for his Iron Spider suit.

A sign taped on the wall behind it says, "Iron Spider charging. Do not unplug."

Peter started using the suit, which was created by Tony Stark, in "Avengers: Infinity War."

Peter still has the E.D.I.T.H. glasses that Tony Stark created.

Peter acquired the glasses in "FFH."

In "NWH," the high-tech accessory can be seen in the apartment when federal agents stop by with a warrant for Peter's arrest.

The brick that Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock catches has the word "believe" misspelled.

Matt catches a brick that crashes through Peter and Aunt May's apartment, with the phrase "We beleive Mysterio" written in red ink." 

The Department of Damage Control (DODC) is constantly in pursuit of Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

The DODC is a joint venture between Stark Industries and the federal government, which oversees the collection and storage of alien and other exotic materials.

We first meet the DODC in the opening scene of "Homecoming," when Adrian Toomes' team is shoved aside while cleaning up the mess of the 2012 Battle of New York.

In "NWH," they bring in Peter, Ned, MJ, and Aunt May for questioning after Peter's superhero identity is revealed. 

Later in the movie, they arrest Happy Hogan and shoot at Peter after his first fight with Green Goblin.

Peter also wears another familiar graphic T-shirt in "NWH."

Peter wears the math shirt, seen in "FFH," when he tries to remove some stubborn green goo from his Spider-Man suit, after relocating to Happy's apartment. 

MJ has drawings from "Homecoming" on the wall of her bedroom.

In "Homecoming," MJ didn't even have detention, but she sat in the classroom anyway because, as she told Coach Wilson, she likes to "sketch people in crisis."

During a second detention scene, she taunted Peter by holding up a sketch of him looking sad. 

Both of these drawings can be seen near MJ's bed in "NWH," when she and Peter talk via FaceTime one night. 

When Peter arrives at school for his first day of senior year, Betty Brant is on the campus reporting for Midtown News and says, "Go get 'em, tiger! Or should I say, spider?"

The school's mascot is the tiger. But in the comics, it's also the nickname that MJ gives Peter. Kirsten Dunst's version of MJ even called Peter "tiger" in Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" trilogy. 

Zendaya's real-life assistant, Darnell Appling, has a cameo early in the movie.

His character is seen in a crowd outside the school, wearing a light-blue shirt with MJ's face on it and asking her if she's going to have Peter's "Spider babies."

Flash Thompson releases a memoir called "Flashpoint."

The memoir is just another excuse for Flash to try and pretend as though he's best friends with Peter, when in fact he spent most of "Homecoming" and "FFH" bullying him.

While the book name is a play on Flash's first name, it's also the same title as a crossover story arc from DC Comics , centered on The Flash/Barry Allen. 

The display cabinet at Midtown High honoring Peter/Spider-Man includes a framed photo of him and MJ in Venice.

The photo was taken during their school trip in "FFH."

The Lego Death Star that Ned and Peter built in "Homecoming" completely falls apart.

In "Homecoming," Ned accidentally dropped the Death Star when he learned that Peter is Spider-Man. Ned and Peter rebuilt it together later in the movie. 

It falls and the pieces break apart during a scene in "NWH" in which Peter receives another college rejection letter in the mail. 

MJ working as a waitress in "NWH" is reminiscent of the occupation of Dunst's character in Raimi's trilogy.

In Raimi's films that starred Tobey Maguire as the titular web-slinger, Dunst's version of MJ also gets a job as a waitress. In the first movie, she works at the Moondance diner, wearing a bright orange uniform. In the third movie, she's a singing waitress at The Jazz Room.

In "NWH," Zendaya's character works at a donut shop and wears a seafoam green uniform with pink detailing over a white long-sleeve shirt. 

Doctor Strange's mug spells out the phrase "oh for fox sake," a clever play on the expression "oh for fuck's sake."

He holds the mug when Peter visits him at the Sanctum Sanctorum early in "NWH."

Wong is now the Sorcerer Supreme.

Doctor Strange explains that Wong got the title on a "technicality," since he was blipped and disappeared for five years.

When Doctor Strange's initial spell gets messed up, he contains it in an orange gem and places it in a cube.

Doctor Strange does a similar thing on the animated Marvel series "What If...?" On the show, he contains a spell within a sphere, trapping Ultron and Killmonger inside it.  

When Spidey steals Doctor Strange's relic and swings through the city with it, you can briefly catch a glimpse of Liz Toomes on the cover of People magazine.

Liz (played by Laura Harrier) was the captain of the decathlon team at Midtown and Peter's love interest in "Homecoming." She was also the daughter of Adrian Toomes/Vulture, Spider-Man's primary foe in the film.

At the end of "Homecoming," Adrian was imprisoned and Liz and her mom moved to Oregon.

In "NWH," the magazine can be seen on a newsstand in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment. 

"NWH" doesn't address what Liz has been up to since "Homecoming," but it looks like the magazine cover has a quote from the character saying, "He's a liar," referring to Peter. 

Spider-Man narrowly escapes getting hit by a silver car with the license plate ASM-8183.

You can see the license plate when Doc Ock enters Peter's universe and begins fighting him, assuming he's the same Spidey from his universe

There's also a license plate in the bridge scene that reads 63A5M-3, which seems to reference the 1963 "Amazing Spider-Man" comic book issue No. 3, which is the debut of Doc Ock.

Another license plate, on a taxi, says 1228 in honor of Stan Lee.

Lee, who created the character Spider-Man with Steve Ditko, was born on December 28. 

While fighting Doc Ock, Spidey does a backflip kick off the villain, similar to a move that Maguire's Spidey did in "Spider-Man 2."

In "NWH," Holland's version of the character does the move during the bridge scene.

In "Spider-Man 2," Maguire's web-slinger executes the kick during his fight on the train with Doc Ock. 

Doc Ock wraps his mechanical arm around Spider-Man's head, just as he did in Raimi's "Spider-Man 2."

In "NWH," the villain forcefully grabs Spidey during the bridge fight.

In "Spider-Man 2," Doc Ock did a similar move during the bank robbing scene. 

There's a Columbia sweatshirt in the basement of the Sanctum Sanctorum.

That's the school where Maguire's version of Peter was bitten in the 2002 movie. It's also the college he attended after graduating from Midtown High. 

The undercroft of the Sanctum Sanctorum also has a box containing a goatee template, which explains Doctor Strange's facial hair style.

MJ is the one who picks up the box and looks at it as she, Peter, and Ned explore the room. 

Ned's laptop still has the "everything is fine dog meme" sticker on it.

The sticker references the popular meme of a dog being surrounded by flames and claiming that things are under control.

The same sticker previously appeared on Ned's laptop in "Homecoming" and "FFH."

Peter's black and gold Spidey suit — which is just his costume flipped inside out — was teased in "Homecoming."

In "Homecoming," Peter removed a tracking chip from the inside lining of his suit while on a trip to DC.  

In "NWH," Peter reverses his suit before going out to the woods to investigate potential activity from multiverse visitors. That's when he first encounters Electro and Sandman.

Lizard acknowledges Max Dillon/Electro's drastic redesign.

Aside from ditching the blue lightning and skin tone for yellow lightning when he's Electro, Max's human format also looks much different from the engineer we first met in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2."

Lizard points out that Max no longer has glasses, bad teeth, or a combover.

"Did you get a makeover?" he adds.

J.K. Simmons is back in action as The Daily Bugle's J. Jonah Jameson, wearing the same black hat from Raimi's "Spider-Man 3."

In "Spider-Man 3," he was seen with the hat on his head while on the street, trying to snap photos of Spidey's fight with Sandman and Venom. 

In "NWH," he wears the accessory when he waits outside Happy's apartment building, hoping to get incriminating footage of Spider-Man. 

Jameson wonders, "Why does Spider-Man hate national monuments?"

A banner with that question appears in "NWH" when Jameson speaks on DailyBugle.net.

To be fair, landmarks (like the Washington Monument in "Homecoming" and the Tower Bridge in "FFH") do often get damaged during Spidey's fights with his foes.

The scene in which Norman Osborn smashes his mask and leaves it behind in an alley is reminiscent of Maguire's Peter Parker leaving behind his suit in "Spider-Man 2."

In "NWH," Norman fights internally with his evil persona, who wants to conquer this new universe upon arrival. As his dark side taunts him, he smashes the Goblin mask and abandons it in the alley. 

In Raimi's "Spider-Man 2," Peter left his suit on top of a trash can in an alley after deciding that he wanted a life of his own and would abandon his duty as a neighborhood superhero. 

Willem Dafoe references his iconic line, "You know, I'm something of a scientist myself"

He says the line when Peter starts brainstorming how to help the multiverse visitors, by fixing their flaws and sending them back to their universes.

After Peter says that he has advanced tech that may be able to help, Norman says: "I can help you. You know, I'm somewhat of a scientist myself."

When Norman arrives in Holland's world, he says that Oscorp doesn't exist in this universe.

Considering that Oscorp was a key part of the past Spidey franchises, it's interesting that Holland's universe doesn't include it.

However, you can see a glimpse of an Oscorp skyscraper (with the logo from Garfield's Spidey movies) in a trailer for the upcoming Marvel/Sony movie "Morbius."  

Peter and Ned do their signature handshake before they split to go on separate missions.

We first saw the best friends do the handshake in "Spider-Man: Homecoming."

A TV in Happy's apartment references the Statue of Liberty renovation project.

In "NWH," Captain America's shield is in the process of being added to the Statue of Liberty.

The movie's climactic fight involving the three Spider-Men and the villains takes place at the site, and the construction collapses. 

Aunt May burns sage in Happy's apartment.

You can see her waving the sage around as she walks down the stairs, shortly before Peter realizes that Norman has been pretending to be a good guy the whole time. She was probably trying to make sure all the Spidey foes remained calm. 

Director Jon Watts pays homage to the original "Spider-Man" trilogy helmer by including dramatic, Raimi-style close-up shots in "NWH."

You can see this style a few times, like in Happy's apartment when Peter's tingle gives him a heads up that Norman does not have good intentions.

In an interview with Den of Geek , Holland explained the homage.

"Something that Jon Watts did really well is, he would call it the 'Raimi-cam,'" the actor said. "And he would do these really quick smash push-ins on the characters, which is something that Sam Raimi I suppose was quite famous for, so Jon definitely paid respect."

In his first fight with Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin in "NWH," Peter does a move that's reminiscent of Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow's fight style.

Throughout her appearances in the MCU, Black Widow often did a move in which she jumped on her opponent and wrapped her legs around them while fighting.

Peter uses a similar fight tactic against Goblin, latching on to the villain's upper body and punching his head with his fists. 

Green Goblin channels his comic-book counterpart by wearing a hooded outfit over his bulkier costume.

He wears a hood with cutoff sleeves and shorts over his Gobby outfit.

When May tells Peter that he did the right thing by trying to find cures for the Spidey villains, frustrated, he tells her: "It's not my responsibility."

It was reminiscent of a moment in Maguire's "Spider-Man," when he let a robber escape in an elevator and sassed a police officer by saying it's not his problem. 

Peter using the word "responsibility" in "NWH" was probably an intentional move, so that May could tell him that he has a gift and with great power, comes great responsibility. 

Ned's Nana has a green garment near a sewing machine and several knives mounted in her home.

The camera intentionally lingers on two shots: one showing several knives on the wall and another of the sewing machine and fabric. Perhaps the film is setting up Ned to be the Hobgoblin, a famous Spidey foe from the comics.

Another theory is that Ned might be some kind of sorcerer since there are many nods to that in "NWH."

All three versions of Peter Parker recreate the iconic meme of multiple Spider-Men pointing at each other.

Holland, Maguire, and Garfield point at each other in Midtown High, as Ned calls out for Peter and sees all three of them respond because they have the same exact name. 

They also point at each other while in their suits at the Statue of Liberty.

While gearing up for the big battle, the two Spider-Men stretch their limbs and Maguire's Spidey complains to Garfield's web-slinger about his back being "stiff from all the swinging."

In response, Garfield's character tells him that he also suffers from back pains. Then he cracks Maguire's back for him. 

This may have been a callback to a moment from Raimi's "Spider-Man 2."

In the film, Peter regains his mojo and jumps from a rooftop screaming, "I'm back!" But then he loses momentum and falls to the ground. When he gets up off the concrete floor, he clutches his spine in pain and says, "My back. My back."

Maguire's Spidey references the time he fought Venom in "Spider-Man 3."

"I fought an alien made out of black goo once," Maguire says, prompting Holland's character to talk about fighting an alien in space.

Garfield's Peter calls himself "lame" for fighting villains like Rhino, compared to the foes Maguire and Holland's characters have faced.

After hearing the other Spider-Men tales about battling aliens (referring to Thanos and Venom), Garfield's self-deprecating character mentions that he fought a Russian guy in a Rhino suit.

In case that sounds familiar, it's because Paul Giamatti portrayed Aleksei Sytsevich, who suited up in Rhino armor to fight Garfield's character at the end of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2."

Electro's redesign references his look in the comics and animated series.

In "NWH," Electro first shows up in his blue look from "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" before transforming into a more grounded appearance that swaps the blue lightning for yellow. 

When he appears at the Statute of Liberty in the film's major fight scene, there's a nod to the character's animated look from over the years, in which Electro sported a yellow mask.

Max Dillon says a line about a "Black Spider-Man," paving the way for fans to see a live-action version of Miles Morales.

Max makes the comment while speaking to Garfield's version of Peter in "NWH." He tells Peter: "There's gotta be a Black Spider-Man out there somewhere."

The first hint about Miles Morales' existence in the MCU happened in "Homecoming." In the film, Donald Glover's character, Aaron Davis (who becomes the villain known as Prowler in the comics), briefly interacts with Spidey and mentions a nephew that he has in the area.

The animated 2018 movie "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" centered on Miles, voiced by Shameik Moore. Since then, fans, as well as Holland,  have been rallying even more to see a live-action version of Miles in the MCU. 

When Otto and Maguire's Peter reunite, Peter tells him that he's "trying to do better."

This is a callback to a conversation the two characters had in "Spider-Man 2."

In the 2004 film, when Peter and Otto meet for the first time, the scientist says that his friend Dr. Connors described the youngster as "brilliant" but also "lazy."

In response, Peter tells Otto: "I'm trying to do better."

Otto then tells Peter that "intelligence is not a privilege, it's a gift. And you use it for the gift of mankind."

Later in the movie, when Peter removes his mask and reveals to Doc Ock that he's Spider-Man, Otto smiles and calls him "brilliant but lazy," realizing the irony of his past assumptions of Peter.

Moments later, Otto sinks into the river, along with the tridium.

Garfield's version of the web-slinger has a major moment of redemption when he saves MJ.

Even before "NWH" was released and Garfield's return was officially confirmed, fans theorized that, based on the trailer, MJ would be saved by Garfield's character. 

In one of the highlights of the film, MJ falls from the Statue of Liberty construction site and Peter jumps down to save her — but he's intercepted by Green Goblin knocking him with his glider.

MJ continues to fall backward, but Garfield's Peter sees the moment. Refusing to let another person die on his watch after what happened to Gwen in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," he springs into action and catches her. 

After landing safely on the ground, Garfield's Peter and MJ both ask each other if they're OK, and the look on Garfield's face, knowing that he saved her, is incredibly heartwarming. 

As the universe begins cracking and people start coming through, you can see glimpses of Spidey characters like Scorpion, Rhino, and Kraven the Hunter.

Doctor Strange closes up the cracks in the universe (at least for the time being), and so we don't get to fully see these characters who were breaking through.  

Garfield's Spider-Man fought Rhino in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2."

Back in the first end-credits scene of "Homecoming, " there was a brief reference to Mac Gargan becoming Scorpion as he crossed paths with Adrian Toomes/Vulture while locked up. 

Mac had a large scar on his face and a scorpion tattoo and told Adrian that he had some beef with Spidey and would love to take down the web-slinger with some of his buddies on the outside. 

In response, Adrian lied and protected Peter's identity, saying: "If I knew who he was, he'd already be dead."

Since then, we haven't seen the character again, though comic-book fans know that Scorpion is part of the Sinister Six — a legion of Spider-Man villains.

A standalone movie about Kraven the Hunter is already confirmed to be in the works , with Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who played Quicksilver/Pietro Maximoff in "Avengers: Age of Ultron," portraying the popular Spidey foe.

Taylor-Johnson signed a multi-picture deal, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Doctor Strange's magic is reminiscent of Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch's seen in "WandaVision."

This is a fitting parallel since the two characters will team up to tackle the multiverse next year in "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness."

Holland's version of Peter trying to kill Norman Osborn with his glider is a callback to two moments in Raimi's trilogy.

In 2002's "Spider-Man," Norman/Green Goblin fought Spider-Man near the end of the film.

After the villain took off his Goblin mask and revealed his identity to Peter, he claimed that he'd never hurt the teen.

He begged Peter not to hurt him, but at the same time, he secretly pressed a button that sent his glider directly toward the web-slinger, with the blades protruding. Peter jumped up, dodging the attack and as a result, the glider impaled Norman, killing him. 

Harry Osborn (James Franco) faced the same fate in "Spider-Man 3," under different circumstances.

In the 2007 movie, Harry, who followed in the footsteps of his father and became the new Goblin, teamed up with Spider-Man in his battle against Eddie Brock/Venom. 

During the fight, Venom grabbed Harry's glider and leaped toward Spidey, intending to stab him. Harry saw and jumped in front, protecting Spidey and letting the blades stab him instead. 

Harry then died in Peter and MJ's arms. 

In "NWH," Holland's version of Peter becomes uncharacteristically dark when his fight with Green Goblin leads to the death of his Aunt May.

In his rage, he becomes determined to make Green Goblin pay. At one point in their fight, Peter grabs the glider and nearly impales Green Goblin, but Maguire's Spidey stops him. 

After all, Maguire's wiser Spidey knows that seeking revenge ultimately won't make Peter feel any better about what happened. 

Peter wears a red and navy winter hat when he visits Aunt May's grave.

He puts a white flower by the tombstone and runs into Happy, who doesn't remember him because of the spell cast by Doctor Strange. 

Coincidentally, those hat colors are the same ones used for the traditional Spidey suit. 

The apartment that Peter moves into is a callback to the one that Maguire's character lived in during Raimi's trilogy.

Both apartments are modest-looking. In "NWH," Peter moves into his own place after Doctor Strange casts a spell to make the world forget who he is. 

At the end of the movie when Peter moves into his new place on his own, he takes out a Lego figure of the "Star Wars" character Emperor Palpatine from one of his many boxes.

In case that toy looks familiar it's because fans previously saw it in "Homecoming" during Ned's first MCU scene. While at school, Ned showed Peter the figure and asked if he wanted to help him build his new Lego Death Star.

Later in "Homecoming," Peter helped Ned rebuild the Death Star (which broke) and Ned was again seen holding the Palpatine figure.

In "NWH," Peter puts the toy on a table along with a disposable cup that MJ served his coffee in.

It seems like a way to tell the audience that even though his best friends no longer remember them, he still cares about them. 

"Ted Lasso" star Cristo Fernandez, who stars as Dani Rojas, plays a bartender in the mid-credits scene.

He's seen serving Eddie Brock at a bar in Mexico and filling in the "Venom" character on notable things that have happened in this universe.

New York City Tips: 50 Dos & Don’ts for Visiting NYC Like a Pro

If you’re looking for New York City tips that have been tried and tested by a local New Yorker, you’re in the right place!

For more than 2 decades (and counting), New York has been my home. I even married a native New Yorker! The NYC dos and don’ts below come from my own experiences of living here and helping visitors navigate the city.

So whether it’s your first visit or fifth to New York City, I’ve got 50 of the best NYC tips to help make your time in the city a success,

New York City Tips: 50 Dos & Don’ts for Visiting NYC like a Pro!

Living in New York City was always one of my dreams. As a young girl, I was fascinated with Broadway, the bright lights, and the endless number of things to do in NYC.

Fast forward to when I arrived and I had no idea what I was doing!

On my first full day living in New York, my aunt tried to help me get my bearings. We walked around, and in between getting jostled by people racing to wherever they were going, I got every single one of the questions on her New York City quiz wrong.

Luckily for you, it’s been 25+ years since that failed quiz and now there’s no denying my status as a New Yorker!

I’m also a traveler, who knows that local tips can’t be beat when you’re exploring a new place, so I wanted to pass on some tried and true New York City tips for your first/next trip to the Big Apple!

NYC Tips: Planning Your Trip

When you’re planning a New York trip , there are a few basics you want to keep in mind.

It’s impossible to see and do everything. Instead, you want to focus on the time you do have and decide which places and activities are at the top of your must-see list.

Then, take advantage of the New York travel tips below to help you save money and time, as well as plan for your arrival.

1. Do plan ahead and spend enough time.

Ideally, you’ll want to spend at least 3 days visiting New York City, especially if you’re one of the many first-time visitors who come to NYC each year. This will ensure you have time to see some of New York City’s top sights, as well as a few nights to enjoy NYC’s restaurants and entertainment.

Maximize your time in New York City by planning sensible logistics (avoid backtracking) and making advance restaurant and ticket reservations to avoid missing an opportunity and waiting in long lines.

This includes booking timed-entry tickets for tourist attractions like Summit One Vanderbilt , the 9/11 Museum , and the Statue of Liberty if they’re on your list of places to visit.

And if there is a Broadway show that you’re deadset on seeing, it’s best to secure those tickets ahead of time instead of leaving to chance getting discounted tickets last minute.

2. Don’t overstuff your NYC itinerary.

It’s easy to be wide-eyed as you plan what to see and do in New York City. The city has an endless number of things to do. But you also want to take the time to enjoy your time and not just race from place to place.

Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Unless you’re an absolute die-hard art lover, don’t visit more than 1 art museum in a day. Museum fatigue is real and you’ll likely stop absorbing what you’re seeing after a couple of hours.

If you can, mix in a variety of indoor and outdoor activities. For example, visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art or MoMA in the morning and then spend at least part of the afternoon in Central Park. Similarly, you might want to plan a morning or afternoon visit to the 9/11 Museum and the other part of the day walking across the Brooklyn Bridge or exploring Chinatown.

Lastly, if managing the entire day independently feels overwhelming, join a guided tour or activity for part of the day. Guided neighborhood walking tours can help you explore a new part of the city without worrying about where to go or what to see.

3. Do consider saving money with a sightseeing pass.

If you’re planning a heavy sightseeing itinerary, absolutely consider getting a bundled pass like The New York Pass or New York CityPASS . These passes can help you save a good amount of money when compared to buying tickets individually.

The New York Pass lets you choose the duration of your pass, from 1-10 days. This is a great way to pack together consecutive days of unlimited sightseeing with a choice of 100+ attractions.

The New York CityPASS , on the other hand, gives you access to 5 attractions (2 fixed and 3 of your choice from a set list) over 9 days. This pass is great if you want to sightsee at your own pace while mixing in other activities and experiences around the city.

4. Don’t miss NYC’s numerous free things to do.

Fortunately for your wallet, there are also plenty of amazing free attractions in New York City. Quite a few of them also happen to be top places to visit in NYC, too.

Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, taking in the harbor and Lower Manhattan views. This is a top New York City thing to do and shouldn’t be missed!

Central Park, Bryant Park, the High Line, Little Island Park, Riverside Park, and numerous other green spaces are all free to explore. Some like the High Line come with art exhibitions, while Little Island Park hosts free performances.

In the heart of Midtown Manhattan, visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the main branch of the New York Public Library, Rockefeller Center, and Grand Central Terminal…all for free!

Many of New York City’s museums have free days including MoMA, the Met, the 9/11 Museum, the Guggenheim, and the Morgan Library. Check individual museum websites for more info and, in some cases, to make a free reservation.

In Lower Manhattan, you can visit the 9/11 Memorial Reflecting Pools for free, as well as ride the Staten Island Ferry past the Statue of Liberty and head to Governor’s Island for free.

And on any given day, the city hosts numerous free activities and cultural events from art shows to concerts and live theater productions. Use a resource like TimeoutNY to check free events happening during the days you visit.

5. Do learn how to navigate New York City’s streets.

One of the great things about getting around New York City is the grid pattern of its streets on most of Manhattan (down to 14th Street). The simple tic-tac-toe set-up combined with numbered streets makes it easy to orient yourself and find where you need to be.

NYC’s streets (i.e. 37th St., 38th St. 39th St.) run east and west across the island of Manhattan. Roughly 20 of these “city blocks” are about 1 mile. When you’re walking with the numbers going up, you’re walking uptown. If the numbers are going down, you’re heading downtown.

New York City’s avenues (Madison Ave., 5th Ave., 6th Ave., 7th Ave.) run north and south. These avenues intersect the numbered streets. The distance between avenues is greater than the distance between streets. About 7 avenues add up to 1 mile.

At 5th Avenue, you’ll find the dividing line between the west and east sides of the island.

For example, if you’re at 42nd St. & 5th Ave., walk in one direction along 42nd Street and you’ll see that it’s E.42nd Street. But if you walk the other way, you’ll notice the signs say W.42nd Street.

Street addresses get smaller the closer they are to 5th Avenue and bigger the farther they are from 5th Avenue. So, if you need to go to MoMA at 11 W.53rd Street, you know that the museum is on the west side of Manhattan and close to 5th Avenue because the building number is 11.

Lastly, New Yorkers typically use intersections or cross streets to explain where they are or to tell a taxi where to take them. You wouldn’t say to a taxi driver, please take me to 11 W. 53rd Street. Instead, you’d say, 53rd and 5th, please. This tells the driver the intersection where you’d like to be dropped.

6. Don’t rely on taxis to get to Manhattan from the airport

This might be one of the most important New York City travel tips on this list.

I highly recommend having a plan for getting from your airport to Manhattan. All the airports have taxi lines that will take you where you need to be. The problem is they’re expensive and sometimes come with a lengthy wait in line for an available taxi.

From JFK to Manhattan, taxis charge a flat rate of $70. This does NOT include extra for tolls, tips, and any surcharges in effect. From Laguardia and Newark Airports, taxi fares are calculated by the meter with tips, tolls, and surcharges tacked onto that. Depending on traffic, taxi fares calculated by the meter can add up quickly.

Instead, use public transportation or book a transfer service in advance so that you know the cost ahead of time. These guides will help you figure out the best way to get from each airport.

• JFK to Manhattan
• LaGuardia to Manhattan
• Newark Airport to Manhattan

7. Don’t shy away from spending Christmas in New York

I reject the idea that you should think twice about spending Christmas in New York .

Yes, it’s very crowded and hotel prices can be high especially right around the time of the Rockefeller Tree Lighting and during the school break week between Christmas and New Year’s.

But, Christmas in New York is absolutely beautiful. The city sparkles with lights and decorations. The atmosphere at the holiday markets is festive enough to warm even the coldest of Grinch hearts. Even “hardened” New Yorkers can’t help but feel the Christmas spirit.

8. Do know the mistakes to avoid spending Christmas in New York.

That being said, you want to make sure you’re a little extra prepared so that you don’t fall victim to some of the classic New York City Christmas mistakes.

Knowing what to avoid, how to dress, or the best places to ice skate all help to make your New York City Christmas trip a success!

New York Travel Tips: Getting Around

Pay attention to these New York tips for navigating the city. Getting around NYC (or lack thereof) can make or break your entire trip.

The last thing you want is the stress of getting lost or arriving late only to realize you’ve missed out on something you were really looking forward to.

The good news, though, is that with a little common sense and advance studying by reading these NYC tips, you’ll be on your way to getting around the city like a pro!

9. Don’t drive.

Traffic is horrendous and parking is worse. It can take a maddening amount of time to get around NYC by car and will inevitably waste hours.

And even if for one crazy fleeting moment, you think driving around New York City makes sense, remember that no restaurants, bars, shops, or sightseeing attractions have parking for their customers.

Bottom line. There are no good reasons to justify driving into or around New York City.

10. Do use public transportation.

The subway (and even walking) will typically be faster than taking a taxi, perhaps except for hours in the dead of night when NYC quiets down. (Although this is never a guarantee because night road work is always happening somewhere!)

Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx are well connected by subway trains and buses. This is why millions of people use them every day,

You can get anywhere you’d want to go in the city and be much happier when you arrive…not to mention on time, too!

11. Don’t be a subway oaf!

The fastest way to annoy New Yorkers is to in any way block the turnstiles, the stairways, or the train entrance. We understand that you might not be familiar with the subway system. All we ask is that you move to the side or to a place that is out of the way so you can figure out which way you need to go.

Think of it like this. Navigating the subway is part of our daily commute. Would you stop your car in the middle of a highway entrance ramp (during rush hour) while you read all the signs or looked at a map? No. The subway tunnels, stairways, and turnstiles are no different.

Once you know the train you need, be sure to stand back on the platform. When the train arrives, don’t block the door. Step to the side to allow people inside to get off the train.

Once you’re inside, move all the way into the subway car. You’ll notice that New Yorkers have mastered the art of making no eye contact even when we are smushed together in a cramped space. You should practice this skill, too.

And, whatever you do, don’t lean your whole body on the poles inside the train. On a crowded train, these are the only things that a lot of people can hold onto once the train is moving.

Yes, it’s a petri dish of bacteria, but hold onto the poles with your hands so other people around you have space to hang on, too. This is exactly why those mini bottles of hand sanitizer were created in the first place.

12. Do have your subway payment method ready.

As of 2023, you can still swipe a MetroCard to enter the subway. Although, they will eventually be phased out. The subway and bus fare is $2.90.

Metrocards are refillable (except those that are single-ride cards) and can be used on buses, PATH trains to/from New Jersey, and for the AirTrain at JFK Airport. There are also 7-day unlimited ride Metrocards which make sense if you ride the subway at least 12 times no matter how long your New York City itinerary is.

You can also use the contactless payment system on all turnstiles with your smartphone or contactless credit card. Just tap to pay and you’ll be able to go through the turnstile. Be sure to use the same device or card so the system will recognize if/when you’ve reached 12 rides in a 7-day period. Any rides past that in the same window of time will be free.

13. Don’t get in an empty subway car !

While we’re talking about the subway, I feel obligated to mention this.

I did this once with a college friend of mine. I was new to New York City and flat-out didn’t know any better. Just trust me on this one…unless, of course, you enjoy breathing the foulest stenches in creation.

14. Do move down the platform and find a car with people on it.

If an empty subway car (while all the others are pretty full) pulls up in front of you on the platform, no you did not just get incredibly lucky. There’s 100% a reason why others have skipped the empty train car in favor of wedging themselves into a more crowded part of the train.

Instead of thinking you landed a jackpot, quickly move to a train car with people on it. Your nose and taste buds will thank you.

15. Do know the difference between local and express trains.

Several subway lines run express and local trains. It’s exactly as it sounds. The local trains make all the stops on the line, while the express trains bypass many stations stopping only in select places.

Know which one you need before you get on the train. Don’t waste time having to backtrack to a station because the accidental express train you were riding skipped your stop.

Look at an NYC subway map. Local stations are marked with a filled-in-all-black circle. Express train stops are marked by a white or unfilled circle. Where the white circle (or oval) overlaps several train lines, it means you can connect underground to these other lines without having to pay again.

Sometimes it’s knowing the simplest of NYC travel tips that can make all the difference.

16. Don’t block the subway station escalator.

Some subway stations have escalators to carry you to or from the train platforms. While riding these escalators, it’s expected that you move to the right if you’d like to stand and ride and move to the left if you’d like to climb the stairs and pass others.

Please don’t stand on the left or place suitcases there while others are trying to move quickly to wherever they are going (i.e. work, doctor’s office, picking their kids up from school).

17. Don’t be the cause of a sidewalk traffic jam.  

Other than the subway and buses, New Yorkers’ primary mode of transportation is their feet. The sidewalk in New York is like a pedestrian highway. Walking in a line across with your whole family blocks others from passing.

If you stop suddenly, the people behind you won’t expect this and just might walk into you. Just like there are rules of the road when you’re driving, NYC’s sidewalks come with similar protocols.

18. Do “pull over” to the right

Not to worry if you’re just strolling, are a slow walker, or want to stop and figure out where you are and where you’re headed! Just move to the right which signals to those around you that they are free to move past you.

This also applies if you want to look up or take photos of something. And don’t worry if you need to look at a map. Use Google Maps on your smartphone. No one will be the wiser that you aren’t sure which way to go because everyone else will be looking at their smartphone, too!

19. Don’t wait for a walk sign if there are no cars.

Ok obviously always check for cars before crossing the street. But if you want to blend in with real NYers, it’s okay to cross even when it doesn’t say “Walk” as long as no cars are coming.

20. Do watch for buses and bikes.

Just don’t forget about bike and bus lanes! Bike path traffic can be dangerous and they’re less forgiving than cars. So if you see a small painted green lane as you cross the street, be sure there isn’t someone racing by on a bike or e-bike!

New York City Tips: During Your Trip

The New York tips below are all about helping you take advantage of some of the best NYC has to offer while avoiding some of the pitfalls that an unknowing (first time) visitor might not realize.

21. Don’t spend too long in Times Square.

For that matter, don’t stay in Rockefeller Center, either. These places are iconic, sure. Go see them, take some photos in front of the ice rink or the giant billboards with their flashing lights, and then get out of there.

Times Square is full of tourist traps from costumed characters looking to be paid to take photos with visitors to chain restaurants overcharging for bad food.

Besides just seeing the spectacle that is Times Square, the only other reason to spend any length of time there is to get discounted Broadway show tickets at the TKTS booth on W. 47th Street.

22. Do explore other parts of New York City.

New York City is made up of 5 boroughs, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. And within these boroughs are countless neighborhoods, each with their own character and culture. Together, they make up the endless number of amazing things to do in New York City.

Why not head to Lower Manhattan to visit the Financial District and to see the 9/11 Memorial & Museum? The tiny streets at Manhattan’s southern tip are where the city first took root as a colony in the 1600s. When you look closely, you can see remaining bits of colonial history and even visit the final resting place of Alexander Hamilton.

Walk the High Line as it snakes through Chelsea or head uptown to the Upper West Side to visit the northern parts of Central Park and the iconic St. John the Divine. When you’re hungry, take the subway down to Chinatown to sample plates of noodles and Dim Sum.

When you’re ready, ride the subway to Brooklyn for a stroll through one of the most incredible open-air street art galleries in the world.

23. Don’t eat in Little Italy…unless you know where to go.

It pains me to say this as a girl of southern Italian ancestry but unfortunately what’s left of this neighborhood is just a couple of streets with souvenir shops and restaurants serving mediocre Italian fare.

If you do go, avoid the restaurants with wranglers trying to persuade you to sit down. The places worth visiting don’t have people doing this. For example, Di Palo’s on Grand and Mott is famous for their sandwiches and homemade mozzarella. (The line is worth standing in!) Il Cortile has fantastic northern Italian dishes and Ferrara Bakery has been making Italian sweets like cannoli for over 100 years.

24. Do walk down Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village.

Between 6th and 7th Avenues along Bleecker Street in Greenwich Village , you can taste delicious pizza at legendary places like Bleecker Street Pizza, John’s of Bleecker Street, and Joe’s Pizza. Save room for a couple of rice balls from Faicco’s Italian Specialties and cannolis at Pasticceria Rocco.

If you want to have a sit-down Italian dinner, New York City has no shortage of options! Some of my favorites are  Morandi , L’Artusi , and Via Carota .

And if you’re up for taking a bit of a trip “north,” head to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx for another authentic Little Italy neighborhood!

25. Don’t take disrespectful selfies .

Sadly this makes the list, but crimes, tragic or sad events, homeless people, and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum are off-limits when it comes to selfies. Just please don’t do it.

26. Do take photos of NYC’s iconic skyline.

That being said, please take as many photos as you’d like of the city itself and all of its beautiful sights and attractions. This is especially true of the New York City skyline as seen from above.

Contrary to what others might say, I recommend visiting one of New York City’s skydeck experiences. There are plenty of options so choose the one that speaks to you the most or works best with your itinerary.

For example, Summit One Vanderbilt is the most popular immersive skyline experience and has amazing views, especially of the Chrysler Building. The Empire State Building is an iconic art-deco building full of classic NYC history. The view from the Top of the Rock is gorgeous at night when you can see the Empire State Building and all of Manhattan lit up.

Take a look at each one to decide.

• Summit One Vanderbilt
• Empire State Building
• Top of the Rock
• One World Observatory

You might even splurge and take a helicopter ride over New York City to take in the epic views. Either way, it’s a quintessential NYC experience to see the city from above.

Can you accomplish the same thing by visiting a rooftop bar or restaurant?

That depends on where you go and what you’re hoping to see. Some rooftop bars and restaurants can come with fabulous views and even ones that are from a unique angle or height. But they’re also usually not the places where you snap off an endless number of photos without running the risk of irritating those around you.

Skyline experiences are for really marveling at the skyline and taking in the incredible scene before you. While rooftop restaurants and bars are for savoring the ambiance of being high up among the city’s skyscrapers.

27. Don’t eat at a chain or theme restaurant.

New York City is home to an unlimited number of incredible restaurants in every cuisine you can imagine. And you only have a limited amount of stomach real estate. Don’t waste it on food that you can get anywhere.

Besides if you’ve landed in one of these chain restaurants, you’ve most definitely fallen victim to one of NYC’s tourist traps. Restaurants like Olive Garden and Bubba Gump Shrimp typically exist in places like Times Square for a reason. You won’t find restaurants like these in the West Village or Dumbo in Brooklyn because most New Yorkers go for local restaurants instead.

You should do the same.

28. Do eat classic NYC foods.

That being said, not every meal has to be at a five-star restaurant. After all New York City is the land of pizza and bagels!

Order a bagel sandwich with cream cheese and lox (smoked salmon) from Absolute Bagels or Leo’s. Grab a slice of pizza at Prince Street Pizza or go for a classic margherita pie at Juliana’s in Brooklyn…my pick for the best New York style pizza in the city!

Try a new type of ethnic food. Whether you seek out local spots near your NYC hotel or you head to ethnic-specific neighborhoods like Koreatown or Little India, you won’t be disappointed by the endless array of authentic dishes. Not to mention, many of these spots are much better priced than what you might expect in New York.

29. Don’t eat at restaurants without an A rating.

Regardless of where you choose to eat, always look for the Health Department’s rating which must be hung in a prominent place in the front of every restaurant.

With so many restaurant options to choose from, there’s no reason to eat anywhere that doesn’t have an “A” rating. Hopefully, there’s no need to go into any more detail on this one.

30. Do take advantage of cheap eats in NYC.

In a city full of famous restaurants, you might think cheap eats in NYC don’t exist. You just have to know where to look.

Los Tacos No. 1 is hidden in plain sight in famous Chelsea Market. Gray’s Papaya is famous for its hot dogs & “recession special.” Mamoun’s Falafel is listed as one of the 1000 places you need to visit before you die. And Empanada Mama in Hell’s Kitchen will fill you up for about $10. Not to mention Chinatown and its plentiful options of cheap noodle and dumpling dishes.

Or keep your eyes out for any number of New York City’s famous food trucks from one of the Diso’s trucks around 46th Street or in the W. 50s. serving up Italian deli sandwiches to a Souvlaki GR truck also in midtown offering delicious Greek bites!

31. Don’t initiate small talk with locals.

This is not meant to seem rude. But most of us are out and about trying to run errands or get to appointments or work on time. In the process, we get a few moments to pop in our Airpods to listen to some music or a favorite podcast.

And for sure there’s a safety component to this, as well. There’s no need to open up a box of worms if you don’t have to. Better to just go about your business and let others do the same.

32. Do ask a local for directions if you’re lost.

Even with the above small talk NYC tip, I don’t want you to get the impression that NYers are really rude. In fact, I’ve seen countless New Yorkers go out of their way to help visitors who are lost or have a question…myself included!

So if you’re lost or need help, don’t hesitate to ask someone nearby, If you’re unsure about talking to a stranger, pop into a hotel or restaurant or even ask a doorman at one of the city’s many apartment buildings.

I guarantee you’ll come across a friendly local willing to help out!

33. Do avoid tourist traps.

In addition to chain restaurants, places like Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum and experiences like a pedicab or horse-drawn carriage rides are best avoided.

They’re overpriced and gimmicky. Plus, in the case of the horses, they aren’t always treated right.

But for the record. I don’t think going to the top of the Empire State Building, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island, or the Book of Mormon are tourist traps, contrary to what you might read elsewhere. That’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it.

34. Don’t miss the chance to see a Broadway show.

In an era where everything is on a screen, the experience of seeing a live theater production is an unforgettable experience and totally worth it.

Feel free to choose the play or musical that most interests you. Broadway and the countless Off-Broadway theaters have something for everyone’s taste and budget.

Take advantage of discount tickets on websites like Broadway Box . Grab same-day discounted tickets from TKTS in Times Square or Lincoln Center. Or even try your luck at winning a Broadway lottery .

Either way, don’t miss this classic NYC experience!

35. Do tip appropriately.

Tipping in New York City is so important.

If you’re happy with the service you get from a waiter, bartender, delivery person, or taxi driver (to name a few), be sure to tip 15%-20%. These service workers make horribly low hourly wages and rely on these tips to survive in New York City. Don’t forget about tour guides, too, especially the ones giving free walking tours.

While it’s never an obligation if you don’t think a tip is earned, it’s greatly appreciated and often supports artists and students who live off these tips.

36. Don’t give money to beggars.

As difficult as it may be, don’t give money to beggars. You never know what that money is truly going to be used for. If the opportunity presents itself and you feel compelled, purchase a coffee or some food. But always beware that if it’s not asked for, your kind gesture can always be rejected.

And to be clear, I don’t consider musicians to be beggars. If you’re on a subway platform or walking through Central Park and appreciate the music someone is playing, feel free to contribute to their tip jar.

37. Do use bathrooms when they’re available.

Of all the travel tips for NYC, this one cannot be overstated. New York City has hardly any public restrooms. This poses a real challenge when you’re on the go all day.

So the golden rule (sorry pun not intentional!) is to always use a bathroom when you have one available to you regardless of whether or not you really feel like you need to go.

All of NYC’s top sights and museums have bathrooms for visitors. Be sure to use them when you’re visiting. The same goes if you’re at a restaurant or cafe for lunch or a coffee break. Take advantage of the access to bathrooms.

In an emergency, there are bathrooms at Grand Central Terminal. Nearby Bryant Park has one of the cleanest public bathrooms in the entire city. Public libraries have bathrooms, as do markets like Chelsea Market. Hudson Yards and the Shops at Columbus Circle have restrooms. And if you’re in Lower Manhattan near the 9/11 Memorial & Museum , the Oculus has bathrooms.

Otherwise, you’ll likely have to go to a coffee shop or restaurant and buy something to use the bathroom.

38. Don’t use ATMs outside of bank locations.

Nearly everywhere you go in New York City, debit and credit cards are accepted. So there’s never a reason to carry large amounts of cash. However, if you need some money, use an ATM at an established banking location.

ATMs in places like delis, bars, or drug stores aren’t monitored as closely making it easier for skimmers to add devices to card readers that’ll help them steal account numbers and PINS.

Tips for NYC: Safety

Is New York City safe is one of the most common questions I get from readers who are considering a trip to the Big Apple. So in this section of New York City tips, you’ll find the common sense safety advice that I live by.

39. Don’t walk scared .

Despite what you might see on the news, New York City is still one of the safest mega-cities in the world. Yes, the pandemic’s empty sidewalks allowed a rougher element to surface. You will see homeless and mentally unstable people more so than perhaps in the years just prior to 2020.

However, with each day that life has returned to normal, the city’s residents and visitors alike are reclaiming the sidewalks, so to speak. To be a part of this, walk with purpose…like you know the streets like the back of your hand.

The more confident you look (and the faster you walk), the more you’ll blend in with every other New Yorker.

40. Do stay alert and be aware of your surroundings.

Yet with any big city, you need to exercise some basic caution. You should always be aware of where you are and the others around you. And if something doesn’t look right, move yourself away from the situation quickly and calmly.

Remember, pickpockets and others hoping to pull off petty crimes are opportunistic. They’re looking for anyone who has an unzipped bag or isn’t paying attention to where their belongings are. Everyone has a smartphone but don’t flash other expensive electronics.

Leave your best jewelry at home and don’t walk around with huge amounts of cash. And never carry phones or wallets in your back pants pocket. It’s an invitation for a quick-fingered thief.

41. Don’t react to catcalling.

As a female living in NYC, I’ve experienced plenty of catcalling. It’s always eye-rollingly annoying, especially when you’re just trying to enjoy the city’s sights like everyone else without feeling self-conscious about how you look or what you’re wearing.

The most important thing is not to react. Just keep walking and don’t make eye contact. I know the feeling of wanting to react but trust me, it’s not worth it.

42. Do trust your gut.

But you should always trust what your gut is telling you. If the catcaller (or someone) escalates their advances or you feel unsafe in any way, don’t hesitate to get out of there, seek help, look for a police officer, or even draw attention to what’s happening.

Go into the first available shop or restaurant. Cross the street. Stop walking and let whoever is bothering you pass so that you can see them in front of you rather them being behind you. Speak loudly so that others nearby are made aware of what is going on.

The same holds true outside of a catcalling situation. Something feels off on a subway car you’re riding? Move to another car or get off the train. The street is too dark or quiet? Take a different route. Always do what you feel is right for your own safety and remember the majority of New Yorkers around you will help if they can.

NYC Tips: What to Wear

What you pack for your trip to New York City is so important! With a lot of your trip spent outside, you’ll need to wear clothes that align with whatever the weather happens to be, while of course, achieving a few fashion points along the way.

These tips for traveling in NYC are all about the best clothes and shoes.

43. Don’t pretend it’s spring when it’s winter .

It doesn’t matter if you’re hot all the time. The streets in Manhattan have a really special way of funneling the cold winter wind right in your direction. It might feel crisp and refreshing at first, but after a few hours of walking around, you’ll be shivering miserably.

What to wear in New York in winter is not the same as what to wear in spring, summer, or fall. It’s also not like home where you likely go quickly from your heated house to your heated car to your heated destination.

During New York City in winter you have to be prepared to spend long periods of time outside regardless of what the temperature is or what the weather is doing. Otherwise, the winter weather can quickly put a freeze on whatever you had planned during your trip to New York City.

44. Do dress for the weather.

No matter when you plan to visit New York City, you’ll be walking outside, a lot. No matter how much planning you do before your trip, it’s so important to check the weather in the days leading up to your arrival. The right clothes and shoes will make all the difference during your New York City trip.

Fall in NYC is a great time to visit, weatherwise! The days are comfortable, with little humidity and plenty of blue skies. Similarly, visiting NYC in April or May comes with moderate temperatures and blooming flowers.

Winter and summer, obviously, come with more temperature extremes.

But regardless of what the calendar says, the weather forecast should dictate how you pack. Visiting in April and New York City is going to be 80+ degrees during the day? Pack like it’s summer with some layers for potentially cooler evenings.

Or are you planning a Christmas trip to NYC with sunny weather and 60-degree days in December? Leave your heaviest winter gear at home. You’ll only end up hot and sweaty as you walk around Manhattan.

45. Don’t underestimate the importance of the right shoes.

In a blink of an eye, you’ll have walked 10k+ steps in New York City. You need the right shoes so that you can sustain this amount of pedestrian life for a successful trip.

Fashion sneakers, flat boots, and sporty sandals all work depending on the season and how comfortable they are when you’re walking in them all day. These sneakers are among the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn and I often wear them for everyday walking around New York City.

And of course, weather plays a role. Don’t wear shoes that make your feet hot and sweaty during hot summer days. That’s a recipe for blisters. (Which is also why you should travel with at least 2 pairs of comfortable shoes. You can switch them from day to day so that your feet aren’t being continuously rubbed in the same places.)

The same goes for wearing the right shoes in the rain or snow. Wet and cold feet or shoes that can’t grip the sidewalks on bad weather days are the fastest way to put a damper on what you hoped to do in New York City.

46. Do leave the high heels at home.

Seriously. Unless you’re attending a gala or making an appearance in a Sex and the City sequel, you likely don’t need them. Not to mention, they hardly double for a shoe you can also walk in…outside…for several blocks.

If you need or want something dressier for nights out, consider shoes or boots with more of a platform or wider base that can also serve as functioning walking shoes.

47. Don’t wear your souvenirs here.

Your “I <3 New York”, subway line, or Broadway show tee-shirt will be much cooler at home. Not to mention, wearing items like these immediately identifies you as a tourist just when you might be trying to blend in with the crowd.

48. Do dress stylishly and comfortably .

With all the clothing tips for NYC focusing on comfort and the weather, you might think I’m suggesting you toss all fashion sense out the window. On the contrary! NYC is still a place to look put together. But you can do this in a smart way that combines utility and function.

Jeans are always a good start because you can dress them up or down. Boots, flats, oxfords, loafers, and fashion sneakers are all better choices than your standard gym sneakers.

Think minimalist fashion basics that are chic yet allow you to move comfortably (on foot) around the city. And don’t be afraid to accessorize with a scarf or a hat that will instantly add a bit of flair to your outfit.

49. Don’t wear white/light colors.

Ever wonder why a lot of New Yorkers seem to love wearing black? It’s because NYC is grimy and messy and most of us don’t have washers and dryers in our apartments!

This tip applies especially to pants, shoes, and jackets because they come into contact with park and subway benches and get splashed on by puddles and anything kicked up as you walk. Some of which may never come out even after being scrubbed or washed repeatedly.

Plus, if you’re trying to pack light and plan to wear things more than once, the soot and muck of New York City may upend that plan when it comes to those white pants or pastel pink jacket.

50. Do dress in darker colors.

Instead go for blacks, grays, and even dark colors like forest green, navy, or burgundy when packing bottoms and outerwear. You’ll have a better chance of hiding the inevitable filth that winds up on your clothes after traversing the city by foot and public transportation.

Not to mention, you’ll blend in with the crowd and have a better chance of re-wearing things you’ve packed.

Perfect timing as we are going there in a few weeks, so have made notes from your post on NYC. Thanks

Excellent, Paula! So glad the tips will be useful. Enjoy your trip! 🙂

Love this tip – “Whatever you do, don’t take out a map. Look cool and use Google Maps on your smartphone!” haha. And are selfies ever respectful;?? Great post. It has reminded me that I really need to visit soon!

Glad to make you laugh, Dave! I only do selfies when the landscape behind me needs to be in the shot, like when I was hiking in Patagonia. Hope you make it to NYC soon!

Great tips. I used to spend summers in NYC growing up, but I have to admit, I’ve never been in the subway (mostly because of that petri dish of bacteria thing).

Thanks, Mags. The subway is THE way to travel while in NYC. If you’ve survived the air on planes, you’ll be fine. 🙂

I love your do/don’t format. You’ve given better options for things many tourists would probably want to do.

Thanks, Beverly! Local tips can’t be beat!

Great tips! We really want to make it back to NYC especially since we were there for such a short time on our last visit. I hate when people stop in the middle of sidewalks too–so frustrating!! And good thing to note about the empty subway cars! I would have probably jumped in one too, haha!

Thanks, Jenna! Seems logical to jump in that empty subway car, at first….but, oh how quickly you regret it! Thanks for your comments and hope you make it back to NYC soon!

I once was in the unfortunate position of having to drive in Manhattan. To this day that stands as the scariest thing I have ever done.

I believe it, Brianna! If you don’t know where you’re going and the aggressive style of the New York driver, then you’re in for a terrifying experience.

Dressing for the weather!! Definitely a good tip! I was in NY last winter and almost froze to death!! Great tips.

You’re not alone, Anna. Many people visit NYC, and are so used to getting in and out of their cars, they don’t realize how important dressing for the weather is.

Hi! great list! Thank you! #theweeklypostcard

Thanks, Tanja!

I’ve always wanted to go to NYC, I grew up only a couple hours away in Connecticut, have been inside JFK twice and to Yankee Stadium (the real one,) and that;s it. It was such a small taste and I need more… I gotta get my fix jack lol

So close, Adam! You should definitely not form your NYC opinions on JFK! And, I totally agree with you about the old Yankee Stadium being the real one! 😉

OK, now I am very afraid I want to know what on earth has happened inside an empty subway carriage. Especially as I gather this is a relatively frequent thing?

I would have to take a cab just once I think though. Unless New York taxi drivers are less legendary than they are painted? That would be disappointing.

*grins* I am not sure I agree with you about not wearing your souvenirs in country. I see it as an exuberant celebration of how much fun people are having when they are there, and am therefore quite tolerant. I am actually less so when people save it until they get home.

What good tips though. Especially about where is *really* interesting to go.

Thank you for your comments! If the subway car is empty, it’s typically because someone has become sick, a person who has not bathed in quite a while has taken a nap in there, or someone has used it as a bathroom. While I have a great deal of empathy in my heart for someone in these conditions, I don’t want, nor is it recommended, to ride in that car.

A taxi ride is an experience, but drivers can be hit or miss. Fair points about wearing souvenirs, even though it still wouldn’t be a “NYC Pro” move. Thanks again for your comments! 🙂

I live visiting nyc. Wanted to live there when I was younger but now I think the tourists and other inconsiderate people there would give me too much anxiety.

You would have loved it, Laura! But, it can, indeed, be a stressful city.

Great tips! I have to remember those for next time we visit. We did not take the subway once when we stayed in NYC for three days, we walked. And we did eat at non-chain restaurants we found near the hotel, and I’m glad of it. And yes, Times Square is a zoo!

The subway is a lot easier than it seems, Jolanta. Definitely give a try on your next visit. So glad you were able to enjoy some food at an NYC restaurant! Thanks so much for your comments! 🙂

I loved visiting NYC. There is just so much to love! I wish I had ventured out a little more to explore little restaurants and bars but there is always next time! Also “pulling over” out of peoples way should be practiced around the world haha

Absolutely, Sally! I agree with pulling over being a worldwide courtesy.

Really helpful tips! Bookmarking this one for future reference. Particularly like the one about the empty subway car as I’m sure I’ll be jumping on one if I didn’t read this, but now I know… 🙂

Thanks, Olivia! Good thing for your nose!

Great tips! I finally walked across the Brooklyn Bridge for the first time last year and it was one of the highlights of my trip!

The Brooklyn Bridge is my favorite too, Elena! It’s such a special landmark.

Great tips! We LOVE experiencing the restaurants in NYC. Some of the best food we’ve ever eaten. We often wonder how chain restaurants survive there. Who eats at a chain when there is a plethora of other amazing options!

Thanks, Amanda! Those chains survive only from the tourists who never venture outside of the Times Square tourist zone.

what a clever way to tell New York story:) i may not agree with all the tips, but i love that your personality shows through:) You got me with a paper map- I love those and will always use:)

Thanks for your comments, Victoria. Just be sure to pull over when you take out that paper map (wink wink!) 🙂

I must say, I read many articles about tips for NYC, this one ranks at the top! Most of the people writing about NYC have visited a few times. You are clearly someone who knows the city well! My biggest tip for any city I visit is to walk like you know what you are doing, even if you don’t. Duck into a store or side street to check where you are going rather than stopping in the middle of the sidewalk!

I have been planning a 10 day NYC itinerary for someone going for the first time. She gave me a list of places she wanted to see, and my first thing was to scoff. Times Square, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building. All these places are the things I was trying to tell her to avoid! But then I had to think like her, a person who has never seen NYC (and not like me—someone who grew up there), and understand that it is OK to want to see those places! They are iconic for a reason! So I guess my biggest piece of advice is that its okay to visit all of those popular tourist places in the city, just know that there is more to the city than Times Square!

Hopefully that all made sense! Cheers, Katie

Thanks, Katie! I’m so glad you got one of the post’s main points, which is to enjoy and explore New York City’s iconic sights, but also remember there’s so much more to see and do in the city! It’s such a fabulous city and, those of us who live or are from here, want everyone to get the most out of their trip. 🙂

Do go out and take in a comedy show, especially any of the local clubs that support upcoming talent.

Don’t wear sandals, especially if you are going to walk around Manhattan all day. Not only will your feet hurt, but it will take literally days to wash the sludge that built up in between your toes!

Do check out Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! It is probably one of the best outdoor festivals that you will ever see in your life.

Don’t get caught in the middle of an intersection during a red light unless you are cool with angry New Yorkers laying down on their horn like nobody’s business.

Do go to the Top of the Rock to get the best view of Manhattan. Don’t throw objects off the Top of the Rock. You might hurt someone and it’s illegal!

Been to NYC four times in my life and this city just gets better every single time!

Ray, these are awesome tips! Thanks for helping to make the list even better! Love the point about the sandals and walking around NYC all day and there is certainly no shortage of great comedy shows!

Interesting set of Do’s and Don’t while visiting NYC…..Thanks for Sharing Informative article…

Thanks for reading and commenting, Maggie.

This is great we are coming over from Australia in March and it is always a bit weird going to a new city! where would you recommend someone to stay? I was looking at the Roosevelt in Manhattan ?

thanks for the advice!

Hi Sharna, Thanks for reading. How exciting to be visiting NYC! I haven’t checked out the Roosevelt Hotel, but it is in a good location. You are just footsteps away from Rockefeller Center, Broadway, and the subway. Midtown east tends to be quieter at night than midtown west, but this is not so far east that you’d feel remote or unsafe. I have more hotel recommendations and all the tips to make your first trip a success in my NYC Guide . Plus, you can even download a cheat sheet to take with you if you want. 🙂

Hi Jackie, Thanks for your advice, what is the best area to stay in that is easy to get around, safe and not overly pricey ?

Thanks for reading and commenting. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I’m traveling and my wifi is a bit spotty. Ugh! Of course, the most convenient areas to stay are right in midtown, but these will also likely be the priciest areas, too. I’d recommend looking uptown on the west side of NYC, close to the 1,2,3 (red) subway line. It’s quick and easy and has connections in Times Square to nearly every subway you could want. If you really prefer midtown, east will likely be cheaper than west. I wouldn’t go past the Lexington Ave area, though. It’s safe, but so far east it’ll be a long way to walk to a train or to the main tourist areas of Times Square, Broadway, Rockefeller Center, etc. Hope that helps, but feel free to comment again if you need anything else. Enjoy your stay in NYC! 🙂

Hi Jackie what a great post and so spot on! I am a former New Yorker, been gone 20 years and I was visiting recently last month. It was so much windier than I’d remembered. It must be the tall buildings creating wind tunnels or something. I don’t remember that for 20 years ago. Maybe the buildings have gotten taller. I would also recommend the Bronx Zoo and the Botanical Gardens which make you feel as if you’re in an English countryside.

Thanks for reading, Mary. How great to get back to the city after many years. Great tip about the NY Botanical Gardens. It’s a favorite of mine, especially in fall.

Hi Jackie! Thank you for sharing such interesting tips. I will be visiting my Uncle and his family this June and it is my first time to go to US, and I am glad to be visiting New York. However, I do not have any idea what type of clothes to bring. Your suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Hi Faith, Thanks so much for reading. 🙂 Summers in NYC are warm and some days even, really hot. Sundresses, short sleeve shirts, shorts, capris, elephant pants (loose-fitting pants) are all good. NYers always wear jeans no matter what time of year. As for shoes, NYers wear all kinds of shoes, but we are also used to walking in them. Sandals are fine if they’re comfortable to walk in. Also, there can be afternoon rain storms, so pack an umbrella or pick up one once you arrive. Finally, most places have Air Conditioning, so sometimes a light sweater or sweatshirt comes in handy! Hope that helps, Faith. If you’re looking for more first-timer NYC tips, check out this post . Enjoy NYC!

This is a great list, except that blocking people in the subway is absolutely not “the fastest way to ingratiate yourself with New Yorkers.” It is, in fact, just the opposite since to ingratiate yourself means to bring yourself into favor.

Ha! I can’t believe I never picked that up after all this time, Lizzy! I guess that’s why it’s good to have lots of eyes reading. 🙂

This is a great post love all the tips. I am traveling there soon so will be very handy.

Thanks so much for reading. Glad the tips will be useful.

Great post. I am a travel and sports blogger who was born and raised in New York City , even though I lived in other places. I would definitely recommend that tourists check out the Outer Boros. Take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry , which is free. See the real Little Italy on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. See the Queens Zoo as well as attending a game at either Yankees Stadium or Citi Field . See the other Chinatown in Flushing. Have some Asian, Indian or Latin American food in Jackson Heights . Visit Grants Tomb or Alexander Hamilton ‘ s home Hamilton Grange in Harlem. There is more to New York City than times square . Also, please tourists , don’t take a picture of the rats on the subway. They’re just like their human New York City cousins , aggressive and in a hurry to get to the train.

Thanks for reading, Jo Ann, and for all the tips! You are soo right about getting to the outer boroughs. I’ve included many of these in my 100 things to see and do in NYC. 🙂 Love that last bit about the rats. They’re definitely camera shy!

NY is like a dream city to me. Thanks for the o do list and not to do list. Great. Thanks.

Thanks for reading, Jimmy. Enjoy NYC. 🙂

Hi going to New York for the first time late June for 4 nights then heading to upstate for a wedding. I’m getting freaked out because I’m disabled with visual and balance disabilities. So with that in mind do I stay in Manhattan and cab into the city for getting a feeling of NYC? I walk slowly and afraid of getting bumped around. 4th of July holiday Yikes what have I gotten myself into!?!

I’m so glad you reached out, Lisa. It’s more than possible to enjoy NYC in a way that you’ll feel comfortable. I’d recommend looking into the Global Greeter Network. There are locals who volunteer to show visitors around for free. It’s even possible to be paired up with a local who also has some type of disability. I’d also think about bus tours if the idea of getting bumped around too much is nervewracking. You’d be able to get around to different parts of the city without the stress of doing it on your own. Thanks so much for reading and I’m sure your trip to NYC will be great. 🙂

Ok list, but remember I think the the thing to remember is A LOT of people walking on streets in NYC are tourists! Been there many times and it runs like any other large city. I think the thing to remember, do what you want…there are no “rules” to walking around and subways just use common sense.

Thanks for reading, Nicole. Common sense goes a long way in NYC!

Wow, how kind of you to share this information. I am taking my wife Dec 14-18 and 3 exchange students–all 16, here for entire school year. This is a surprise for them (first trip), and I am attempting to put this all together, a play, a convenient hotel (will need two rooms) and recommendation would help. Prior post indicated you may have an article(s) out there with this information. Also, flying in from the south, ATL so all airports are reasonably price options, any recommendations there? Thanks again for taking time to share important information. Mark

Thanks so much for reading, Mark. That will be such an amazing surprise! I do have a where to stay in New York article. If you’re open to seeing any play or musical, I’d recommend going to TKTS the discount ticket booth in Times Square just before showtime. So if it’s an 8pm show, go to TKTS at 7:30. There will still be tickets available and no line like there would be had you gone earlier in the day. If you have a specific show in mind, look at websites like Broadway Box for discounts and buy in advance. As for airports, I have guides on all 3 NYC airports (JFK, LGA, and Newark) and how to get to Manhattan. I’d recommend JFK or Newark because their public transportation options are the best. But LGA also has options, so no need to worry if that’s where you fly into. 🙂

4 years on… do you have any new tips to add to the above? 🙂 Thanks Ryan

Thanks for reading, Ryan. If you’re visiting NYC for Christmas, I have these mistakes to avoid . I will also be updating this article soon. 🙂

I have a package deal and have to travel to NYC before 11/25/2020. When do you suggest I go? I would like to see the decorations and some iconic sites also and maybe a show or two but am only there 4 days and 3 nights. I will be staying somewhere in Manhattan, not sure where, yet.

Thanks for reading, Ellen. New York City in the fall is the best time to come. If you want to see some decorations, I’d recommend next November right before your package expires. The Rockefeller Center tree won’t be lit but there’s a chance it’ll be up. The ice rink will be up and the Bryant Park holiday markets typically begin right after Halloween. Not to mention the weather tends to be a little chilly but mostly pleasant for walking around. Hope that helps. If you need other NYC tips, start with this guide.

Would really like to know what was in that empty subway that made it smell so bad???

Also, great tips!

Thanks for reading, Shannon. 🙂 To this day, I don’t know. But it was absolutely putrid!

I plan on driving to visit New York from Virginia with my two teenagers this summer. I’m driving because we also plan on visiting family in Rochester. I do not want to drive in the city. Where do you recommend we stay and park our car while taking public transit into the city to sightsee?

Thanks for reading, Rachel. What I would do is to look for cheap parking around Newark Airport or JFK Airport. You can find cheap airport parking at hotels and off-airport sites and then take public transportation into NYC from there. Definitely a smart choice to avoid driving in Manhattan. Enjoy your trip!

10 Survival tips for NYC | Part I

After nearly three years in New York City it’s safe to say you get to experience many new things. Among learning a lot you also start to become far more accepting of the odors, noises, and speed of life here. If it’s your first time in NYC however, here are 10 tips that will help you navigate and survive the city as if you were a true local!

For more tips & tricks check out Part II of our survival guide here for some of the best NYC life hacks.

Escalator etiquette

I remember my mother’s first visit to New York and our first escalator ride. Unfortunately, I forgot to mention that the New Yorkers (just like Londoners) place great importance on their escalator etiquette. Although you might be familiar with this one, it is nonetheless one of the biggest pet peeves of NYC locals if you stand still on the left side of the escalator. If you want to stand still, keep to the right – the left side is purely reserved for those who want to walk up the escalator!

The speed of NYC is definitely something that you need to get used to! For many the walking pace in the city is almost a light jog, which especially if you are taking the sights in for the first time can be a little bit hard to keep up with. While the New Yorkers love the tourists, just make sure to not make the mistake and walk in the middle of the path – make some room for everyday life in NYC too.

Don’t be that one person…

Evil looks and incomprehension are common if you don’t take your backpack off in a busy subway to make more room for other passengers. Don’t block the seat next to you with your bags or eat either – this is seen as rude and inconsiderate. Just be respectful of others, thats all the New Yorkers ask.

Tourists are not exempt from queuing!

All New Yorkers have learned one thing since childhood: queuing and patiently waiting their turn. I have often seen tourists trying to cut the queues or not realizing there even is one in a variety of situations. If you’re not sure, just ask: “Excuse me are you in line?”. You will often see that everyone in the queue is either chatting away or busy on their phone, but don’t make the mistake of thinking no one is paying attention to who is next and who isn’t.

Know the intersections

Whether in the Yellow Cabs or in the case of asking someone where you want to go – try to memorize the street that crosses the avenue or vice versa instead of things like house numbers. If you give the Yellow cab driver an intersection rather than something he is going to clarify you won’t immediately be labeled as another lost tourist.

Be careful when crossing roads

While this sounds obvious, I have often been almost flattened by a cyclist coming the wrong way up a one way street! With the many bike messengers/couriers you need another level of awareness when crossing the street in NYC. Also, in the winter watch for the puddles! Often obscured by sludge, make sure you don’t step into a deep puddle on the side of the road and ruin your day of sightseeing.

Wellies as a fashion accessory

This brings me to my next point – Wellies are completely acceptable footwear in NYC. After the first “shower” (more of a monsoon to me) in New York, I realized that I had to adapt my footwear. Thanks to all the sludge in the winter and giant puddles, there is no normal footwear that can keep you dry. There’s no shame in wearing wellies out in NYC and if you need some inspiration – look around on a rainy day for ideas on how to include them into your outfit as a fashion item!

We don’t bite

Never be afraid to ask for directions. If we don’t know you’re lost, we can’t help! Every New Yorker will be friendly and helpful if you ask them politely for some help.

Beware of the empty subway car!

Watch out! There is usually a reason a half or full subway car has been left completely empty. Many homeless sleep in the subway wagons and this can often lead to some uncomfortable sights and smells. If you ever discover a completely empty subway car have a quick scan of why this may be before you settle in!

Do not disturb!

If you see someone wearing headphones, they do not want to be talked to. In a culture of small talk and noise it is often refreshing to be able to let your guard down and not have to worry about talking to anyone. While many headphone wearers are of course actually listening to music, many are also silent Headphones users. Don’t disturb someones moment of piece and ask someone for help who isn’t wearing headphones.

I'm a true New York fan! Not only have I visited the city over 25 times but also have I spent several months here at a time. On my blog I show you the best and most beautiful spots of the city, so that you have a really good time! You can also find lots of insider tips in our New York travel guide .

6 Tips on How to Survive Your Trip to New York City

Worrying about your first trip to new york city.

Are you planning to visit New York City for a short time, or plan to move there? The Big Apple is a city filled with excitement, wonder, and opportunity and can sometimes seem big and overwhelming. While it is big, it should not be overwhelming, that is if you know all the do’s and don’ts of New York City life.

Here is a simple guide on how you can survive your trip to the Big Apple and make the stay enjoyable and unforgettable.

Take Care While Crossing the Road

This sounds obvious, but it is easy to be flattened by a cyclist going the wrong way on a one-way street. As you cross NYC streets, be acutely aware of the many bike couriers or messengers. Also, if you are traveling to the city in winter, do not step into a deep puddle obscured by sludge by the side of the road. It could ruin your sightseeing day.

Be Polite When Asking for Directions

Never be hesitant when asking for directions. Just about all New Yorkers are helpful and friendly if you ask for help politely. However, if you see someone with headphones on, they do not want to be talked to. In a world of noise and small talk, it is refreshing to let your guard down and not have to worry about someone insisting on talking to you. Of course, there are headphone wearers who are listening to music, but there are silent headphone users as well. Do not disturb their moment of peace – instead, ask for help from someone not wearing ear or headphones.

Do Not Wear Flip-Flops

Flip-flops have their time and place; most probably on the beach in the middle of summer. In New York City, the last thing you want to be wearing is flip-flops. For starters, you are likely going to be doing lots of walking, and this shoe-wear will not be good for your feet. Instead, find a comfortable pair of walking Converse shoes , especially if you plan to walk everywhere. Second, flip-flops are the most unfashionable things you can be seen wearing in the city! Let’s not forget, New York City is known as one of the fashion capitals and you do not want to be making such a fashion faux pas.

Even as a Tourist, You Will Queue

One of the first things New Yorkers learn from childhood is queuing and waiting patiently for their turn. Many tourists make the mistake of cutting queues without even realizing there is one. You will often observe that everyone in a queue is either busy on their phone or be chatting away. However, do not think that they are not aware of who is next and is not.

Keep to the Right

New Yorkers do not drive. The main form of transportation is walking, and there are rules to that too. Just like vehicles, always keep to your right. Unless you are on an NYC/Manhattan tours   bus, you cannot suddenly stop in the middle of a sidewalk. You will likely take up space and hold up traffic. Instead, if you want to pause and rest for a moment, move to the side.

Watch Out for that Empty Subway Car

There is a reason why a whole subway car is empty. In many cases, the homeless make subway wagons place to catch up on sleep, and this can lead to some uncomfortable experiences. If you see an empty subway car, quickly scan it to find out why before you settle in.

By following these tips not only will you have an excellent kick start to your NYC tour but you will likely be mistaken for a real New Yorker by other tourists who didn’t take the time to prepare themselves before taking the trip.

Travel Over 80: Tips for Surviving a 4-Day New York Trip

How to survive the dizzying pace of the city that never sleeps

By Diana Eden, Contributing Writer, JourneyWoman

Traveling to New York is like going to a rock concert. Times Square is as exhilarating and adrenalin-producing as one of the Rolling Stones concerts of my youth. The constant noise of honking cabs and fire engine sirens, the brilliant colors of giant video screens all competing for my attention, and the twinkling lights result in sensory overload. This is why I have to take my whirlwind New York trip in small bites, with oases of quiet in-between the highlights!

Two months ago, I decided to go to New York to support Broadway is Back . I planned to see a few shows and take a few walks down memory lane. Two days travel, two days there.

Why just two days? Mainly because it had to fit into my current teaching schedule at the university and because New York is both expensive and exhausting. No longer the 22-year-old I was when I lived in a fourth-floor walk-up apartment and danced at night on the Broadway stages, I know I need to ration my energy.

My top three tips for not only surviving but thriving on a trip to New York in your 80s:

1. Start with a non-stop flight

I book a nonstop flight from Las Vegas (my home) into Newark, a less insanely busy airport than JFK. As always, I pack very light – one small drag-along bag and my newly purchased backpack. Even with New York sophistication and dressing up for the theatre, I can manage with these two pieces if I stick primarily to black and white and only take one pair of extra shoes.

2. Be strategic with your itinerary

I buy tickets to three shows. Then I pick my extra activities. On the must-list is an exhibition of costumes on 42nd street and a meal at my old haunt, famed theatre restaurant Joe Allen’s, first opened in 1963 and still is going strong 47 years later.

Costumes for the show The Lion King at the Showstoppers Costume Exhibit

And more extras? My octo-wisdom tells me not to schedule too much. But so much to choose from! A visit to the Met? Shopping on Fifth Avenue? A walk past my old apartment on West 64th St and on through Central Park? A trip downtown to the 9/11 memorial and museum? After all, I still have one morning free.

3. Stay central

I book a hotel right on Times Square, the Marriott Marquis, which has the advantage of being a few short blocks to all the theatres and restaurants. Proximity a plus; I can walk everywhere. No hailing cabs, something I haven’t done in years. And close enough for me to duck back to the hotel for naps.

The colours and mammoth billboards of Times Square

I can’t say enough about naps. I have learned to retreat frequently to my quiet space – in this case, my room on the 21st floor. I lay on my big, white-sheeted hotel bed, silent and grateful, and have a power snooze of 30 to 60 minutes.

JourneyWomen 65+ share their wisdom and show us how they embrace life – and travel – to the fullest.

My ambitious but flexible itinerary

Day 1: arts, culture, and theatre.

Meeting up with my dear friend and colleague, New York producer Ethan Walker, we head to 42nd street and the Showstoppers Costume Exhibit . It proves to be one of the best I’ve ever seen! During the Time of COVID, the costume houses that create the incredible clothes that we see on performers on the Broadway stages were suddenly shuttered, with no way to pay enormous NY rents or skilled artisans. Banding together, they formed the Costume Industry Coalition Recovery Fund, and this exhibit is one of the beautiful products that has emerged to raise money for their industry. But it also gives many people access to costumes up close with the stories behind them. Artisans demonstrate beadwork, embroidery, some of their many skills, and people who typically see costumes from many feet back in the theatre can now examine stitches up close.

Three costumes from Hamilton on display at the Showstoppers Costume Exhibit on 42nd Street

I, too, am dazzled. Though a costume designer myself, I still can get goosebumps from seeing the extraordinary skill and originality that these world-class costumes present. I feel immensely proud to be part of the costume industry.

Walking back, Ethan and I stop by one of the theatres where I had performed in 1963, now the Neil Simon Theater. A new show is loading in, but the house manager, Judy Brown, is interested enough in my history to give us a private tour. The theatre interior had been thoroughly renovated, the giant chandelier lowered and cleaned to sparkling perfection. She clearly is proud of her theatre with its new carpet, paint, and decor. What a joy it is to stand in the balcony, looking at the exact spot on-stage where I had once danced. I am also immensely proud to be part of the Broadway community.

Naptime, one hour.

Dinner is at Joe Allen’s restaurant , beloved of all theatregoers for nearly 60 years. I happened to be one of its early customers when it opened in its current location on West 46th St in 1963. It looks just the same as I remember it with its brick arches and show posters on the walls. Restaurants in the theatre district have suffered greatly, too, during the 18-month COVID closures and are just now re-opening. Every restaurant, bar, and theatre require proof of vaccination before entry is allowed. No exceptions.

Then to the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater for the musical Come From Away . The lights dim, and the audience bursts into spirited applause before a note is sung as if to say: “We are so happy to be back!” It is a tale of the people of the tiny town of Gander, Newfoundland, (population 10,000) when the US closed all airspace after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Thirty-eight planes coming from overseas were ordered to land there. Many of the characters are based on real people or their composites, with 12 actors playing multiple roles of the locals who came out to feed, welcome, and comfort the nearly 7,000 terrified passengers.

The show is moving beyond words. The story is real, the music haunting, and the laughs warm and genuine, in-between the moments when tears flow. It’s a treat for the heart.

Life Doesn’t End at 80 – Neither Should Travel

Age is nothing but a number for JourneyWoman Diana, a mature traveller who still adventures comfortably, well into her 80s.

Day 2: Memorials, museums & Manhattan highlights

For Day 2, I have chosen a morning visit to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum at the south end of Manhattan. There I find the two memorial pools that are in the footprints of the Twin Towers. All I hear is the soft sound of water running down the four walls and disappearing into the blackness at the center. Voices are hushed or silenced. It is a somber and reflective place, and the only colors that stay in my mind are grey, black, and the white of a rose left in tribute to somebody’s loved one.

In the cab coming back, we travel up West Street where once fire engines raced down to the towers. Now we witness local New Yorkers walking their dogs and jogging or bicycling along the path adjacent to the river. The sun shines brightly, and life feels normal and good.

Back at the Ethel Barrymore Theater on 47th, we attend the matinee of Waitress , written by and starring Sara Bareilles. With beautifully designed sets and costumes to reflect the everyday people whose story it tells, this production is really a treat for the ears. The music is both haunting and joyous, and Sara’s voice is perfection. You leave the theatre feeling good about life, about people, about the ability to go to the theatre and feel joy and hope.

Nap and then dinner at my new favourite eatery, Trattoria Trecolori, tucked in the heart of the theatre district on 47th street. Casually chic, family-owned, and with a friendly bartender, I had a brilliant pasta primavera and a sinful dessert. 

My weekend ends with a big bang – the exuberant musical concert SIX , about the six wives of Henry the 8th, sung with rock-and-roll intensity, and with The Queens dressed in glittery punk versions of Tudor splendor, this show is loud and proud, naughty and in your face fabulous! At the Brooks Atkinson Theater.

Four days, three shows, one museum, one exhibition, one unexpected private tour, two dinners, and a few celebratory drinks might seem ambitious, but when spaced out with appropriate rest periods, totally doable. Next year I will be another year into my 8th decade, but I think I am going to do it again!

(Last and very important tip: Forgive yourself if it takes more than one day to recover when you get home. Naps are key!)

Very informative – New York City is one of my favourite destinations!

Very interesting seeing the trips described by older women.! Do you know of 4 to 5 day trips to Washington city, led by a knowledge person. Or, going on my own but with a plan as described in these stories. I’m 79, a big traveller but always within some structure, usually volunteering. I’ve not been to Washington and would like to do so before it really gets too late, whenever that is.

I wish I could say that I knew of the perfect 4-5 day trip already put together, but honestly, putting one together for yourself might be the way to go. I was going to go for my 80th birthday and then COVID put that plan to bed. I researched all that Washington DC has to offer and chose a selection of things. There are many many museums, so pick maybe two that interest you. Don’t try and do the Smithsonian in its entirety for instance. If you haven’t seen the Capitol, it is worth a visit and a tour. As far as monuments, the Vietnam Memorial is moving and beautifully designed. I had booked an AirBNB in the Eastern Market area which looked fun. There are lots of nice restaurants and people watching in that area, and it’s not too far from the Capitol and the Mall. Leave enough time for just walking and absorbing the grandeur and beauty of Washington. As always, my advice is to book one major event/tour/museum for the morning, then lunch and home for a rest, and then a less strenuous second outing for the late afternoon (visit to the Lincoln Memorial for instance). I think my friends and I contacted the Chamber of Commerce and they sent an incredible and very complete list of things to see and do. Let us know if you make the trip and what you saw!

I love NYC but at 89 wondered about a visit. This article was very helpful

Loved reading this, I turned 76 last August and felt robbed of 2 years of travel ,thinking “ how many years di I have to do this. I have always traveled solo to France, England driving my self . On the Christina’s holidays, as my family far away I have always gone into my favorite Boston. The ballet and symphony opened, I purchased tickets ahead of time. I stay at the Godfrey hotel, The Ritz around corner as is Ballet , the MFA was open. This first time I took cabs and it made all the difference in my bad knee issues! I had a wonderful time. The Arlington street church bells and walking thru the parks that were lit so pretty. Very uplifting. I want to go to France this spring.

Man who set himself on fire outside Trump trial dies of injuries, police say

A metal can sits on the ground at the scene where a man lit himself on fire in a park outside Manhattan criminal court on Friday in New York.

NEW YORK — A man who doused himself in an accelerant and set himself on fire outside the courthouse where former President Donald Trump is on trial is on trial has died, police said.

The New York City Police Department told The Associated Press early Saturday that the man was declared dead by staff at an area hospital.

The man was in Collect Pond Park around 1:30 p.m. Friday when he took out pamphlets espousing conspiracy theories, tossed them around, then doused himself in an accelerant and set himself on fire, officials and witnesses said.

Jury selection ends in Trump hush money trial

A large number of police officers were nearby when it happened. Some officers and bystanders rushed to the aid of the man, who was hospitalized in critical condition.

The man, who police said recently traveled from Florida to New York, had not breached any security checkpoints to access the park.

The park outside the courthouse has been a gathering spot for protesters, journalists and gawkers throughout Trump's trial, which began with jury selection Monday.

Through Friday, the streets and sidewalks in the area around the courthouse were generally wide open and crowds have been small and largely orderly.

Authorities said they were also reviewing the security protocols, including whether to restrict access to the park. The side street where Trump enters and leaves the building is off limits.

"We may have to shut this area down," New York City Police Department Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry said at a news conference outside the courthouse Friday, adding that officials would discuss the security plan soon.

Trump’s Jan. 6 Case Could Go On Even if Court Limits Use of Obstruction Law

The federal indictment of Donald Trump for plotting to overturn the 2020 election relies in part on the law that the Supreme Court weighed on Tuesday, but was built to survive without it.

• Share full article

By Alan Feuer

Even though Donald J. Trump was never mentioned during the Supreme Court’s hearing on Tuesday about a federal obstruction statute used against hundreds of his supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, the former president loomed large over the proceeding.

That is because Mr. Trump has been charged under the law in question in an indictment he is facing in Washington that accuses him of plotting to overturn the 2020 election. And the court’s eventual decision on the obstruction law could affect how his case moves forward.

It remains unclear at this point how the court will rule, but at the hearing the justices signaled that federal prosecutors may have interpreted the law too broadly and used it unfairly against many of the rioters who were on the ground on Jan. 6. But even if the court tosses out the use of the law against the Trump supporters who broke into the Capitol, it does not mean that the course of Mr. Trump’s own case will be greatly altered.

Lawyers representing hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants have been questioning the use of the obstruction statute since long before Mr. Trump was charged with it in August. The lawyers have claimed, among other things, that one of the law’s central provisions, requiring the government to offer some proof that documents were destroyed or tampered with, has nothing to do with breaking into the Capitol.

If the Supreme Court ends up agreeing with them, Mr. Trump’s own lawyers will surely seek to have the two obstruction counts he is facing stricken from his indictment.

One of those counts accuses him of conspiring with six others who are unnamed — widely thought to be a group of lawyers close to him — to disrupt the certification of the election that took place inside the Capitol during a joint session of Congress on Jan. 6. The second count accuses him of actually obstructing that proceeding.

In fact, Mr. Trump’s lawyers have already tried to have those charges thrown out. In October, they argued unsuccessfully to the trial judge in the case, Tanya S. Chutkan, that the indictment unfairly used the statute. The lawyers pointed out that the law was initially “directed at the destruction of records in accounting fraud,” but had been applied in Mr. Trump’s case “to disputing the outcome of a presidential election.”

“This stretches the statutory language beyond any plausible mooring to its text,” the lawyers wrote.

Jack Smith, the special counsel handling Mr. Trump’s case, has asserted that the two obstruction counts against the former president would survive even if the justices narrowed the law to cover only crimes that involved tampering with documents or records.

Mr. Trump triggered that provision of the law, Mr. Smith has said, by plotting to create a series of false records: slates of electors pledged to him in several key swing states that he actually lost to President Biden. Mr. Smith has accused Mr. Trump of seeking to use those fake slates to obstruct the certification proceeding by throwing it into chaos and by urging his vice president, Mike Pence, to capitalize on the confusion by blocking or delaying the formal declaration of Mr. Biden’s victory and opening a path to Mr. Trump’s being named the winner.

But even if the obstruction counts were ultimately dismissed from Mr. Trump’s indictment, it might not prove to be a fatal blow to his prosecution.

Mr. Smith has also brought against Mr. Trump two more conspiracy charges that overlap almost entirely with the accusations in the obstruction counts. The other conspiracy counts accuse Mr. Trump of committing fraud by using deceit to subvert the normal course of the election and with plotting to deprive millions of Americans of the right to have their votes properly counted.

Those counts add a layer of redundancy to the indictment, which could survive intact even without the obstruction counts. There would be one downside, from the government’s perspective, to losing the obstruction charges: each carries a hefty maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

The fraud conspiracy Mr. Trump is facing has a maximum penalty of five years in prison and voting rights conspiracy caps out at 10 years.

Any Supreme Court ruling that found in favor of the on-the-ground Jan. 6 defendants would not automatically strip the obstruction charges from Mr. Trump’s indictment. To get rid of those counts, he and his lawyers would have to first ask Judge Chutkan to do it. Depending on the details of the decision by the justices, she might deny Mr. Trump’s request.

But if the obstruction counts were in fact stricken from the case, it could, in theory, narrow the story that Mr. Smith would like to tell the jury — if and when the case goes to trial.

Mr. Smith has indicated that he wants to show the jury videos of the violence at the Capitol and perhaps introduce witnesses who will testify that they stormed the building believing they were acting on behalf of Mr. Trump.

But that could be more difficult without the obstruction counts given that those charges arguably offer the clearest legal path to introducing evidence about the riot at the Capitol itself. If Mr. Smith wanted to introduce that evidence without the obstruction counts, he would have to base his request on the remaining conspiracy charges, which may prove more challenging.

Man dies after setting himself on fire near Trump trial courthouse in NYC

By Graham Kates , Pat Milton , Jericka Duncan

Updated on: April 20, 2024 / 8:38 PM EDT / CBS News

A man who set himself on fire outside the New York City courthouse where former President Donald Trump's hush money trial is underway has died, police said. 

Witnesses said that they saw the man — identified by the New York Police Department as 37-year-old Max Azzarello — pour liquid over his head and set himself on fire at 1:39 p.m. local time on Friday. 

In a briefing immediately after the incident, the NYPD said Azzarello, a Florida resident who had arrived in New York City earlier in the week, walked into Collect Pond Park, opened a book bag, and scattered papers and pamphlets on the ground before setting himself ablaze. Police described the materials as "like a conspiracy-theory type of pamphlet." 

Azzarello then fell on a police barrier. Civilians and court officers used coats and extinguishers to try to put out the fire, the NYPD said, and the New York City Fire Department responded, finally extinguishing the fire. 

The FDNY said that Azzarello was transported to New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center, which has a burn center, in critical condition. 

The NYPD confirmed to CBS News overnight that Azzarello had died on Friday night. 

Four officers who responded to the fire suffered minor injuries.

Azzarello had posted a statement on social media, officials said. Although the incident took place close to the court where Trump's trial is taking place, officials said Azzarello did not appear to be targeting any particular person or group and added that he seemed to be a conspiracy theorist.

One witness described pamphlets that Azzarello threw, apparently while making allegations about New York University.

 "I heard this clattering, and it was those papers that he had flung up in the air," the witness said. "That caught our attention and — caught my attention, anyway ... then he pulled out a can and he poured it over himself. And at that point, I thought, 'Oh ... this is gonna be awful." 

"It happened so fast — what do you do?" another witness said.

Ariana Madix reveals whether she’ll return to ‘Vanderpump Rules’ for Season 12 following Scandoval

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Ariana Madix isn’t sure if she’ll return to “Vanderpump Rules” for Season 12 just yet.

Amid an explosive Season 11 which opened with the aftermath of “Scandoval” and her breakup with ex Tom Sandoval , Madix, 38, said “it would have to make sense for me” to consider a return to the series.

“Our show has always thrived, it’s always at its best when it is at its most authentic and its most real, and I have to be able to show up and be real and be authentic in order for it to make sense for me,” she said while promoting her latest book, “Single AF Cocktails,” at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles on Sunday.

“So that’s the question I would be asking myself going into it,” she explained.

Madix and Sandoval, 40, broke up — after nearly a decade together — after it was revealed he had a months-long affair with their mutual friend and castmate Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.

Madix refused to film scenes with Sandoval when she returned to film the current season.

And to make matters worse for Madix, her current relationship with fellow “Vanderpump Rules” cast member Scheana Shay is also currently on ice .

“Things definitely aren’t where they were a year ago,” Shay exclusively told Page Six while promoting her partnership with Smirnoff ICE’s “Surpr-ICEs” campaign at this month’s Coachella music festival in Indio, Calif.

However, the “Good as Gold” singer, 38, was hopeful that things might change once Madix returned to the west coast after wrapping her performance as Roxie Hart in “Chicago” on Broadway — despite their recent clash during the Season 11 reunion taping of “Vanderpump Rules.”

Still, Shay and her husband Brock Davies attended Madix’s final “Chicago” performance on April 7.

There wasn’t much interaction between the two, but Shay says they were cordial and said hello to each other after the show.

“I think it’s just tough, the position we’re all in and the reunion didn’t necessarily help bring us closer together,” she divulges. “I can say that.”
