Things NOT To Do in New York

  • New York City is often referred to as the greatest city in the world and we can see why. Just the energy alone is magnetic. But before you consider yourself an NYC expert, check out these 13 things you should not do in the Big Apple.
    1. Don't buy a Sandwich from Subway
    NYC offers some of the best fresh delicatessens in the world like the Carnegie Deli, Artie’s Delicatessen and 2nd Avenue Deli on 33rd street. But avoid Katz’s as it has turned into a huge tourist trap.
    2. Don't Get into an Empty Subway Car
    There’s a reason that it’s empty. Either the A/C isn’t working or there’s spilled bodily fluid or something is up. Trust us!
    3. Don't Stop on the Sidewalk
    Do not be that tourist that stops in the middle of the sidewalk to look at a map or to take a photo. New Yorkers are speed-walking pros so don’t impede the flow.
    4. Don't Make Small Talk
    New Yorkers are not necessarily known for their calm, patient, friendly demeanor, so don't expect to spark up idle chit chat on the street. They're usually happy to give directions but only to prove how well they know the city.
    5. Don't Eat at a Chain Restaurant
    Locals avoid Times Square like the plague as it is a tourist trap with lots of chain restaurants and visitors wearing “I LOVE NY” t-shirts (oh, yeah avoid this too). Patronize the myriad of local restaurants to really experience the authentic flavors of the city.
    6. Don't Avoid the Outer Boroughs
    Manhattan is usually what most people think of when they visit New York, but there are four other boroughs to explore too. Take the subway to Queens, the Bronx, Brooklyn or Staten Island and discover the unique charm of greater New York City.
    7. Don't Pay for a Statue of Liberty Tour
    Avoid this outrageously priced tour and take the Staten Island ferry instead. The 50 minute round-trip ride passes most of the same sights and is completely free of charge.
    8. Don't Skip a Museum Because of the Entry Fee
    The entry fee that you see for most of New York's world renowned museums is just a suggested amount. You actually only have to pay what you can afford.
    9. Don't Use an ATM Inside of a Store
    Some store owners that don’t accept credit cards but provide a convenient ATM inside their shops. However, it's a trap! These machines often charge an excessive withdrawal fee!
    10. Don't Assume It’s Safe to Cross the Street
    Many tourists wander across the street because they see groups of other people doing so. Fast-walking New Yorkers will make it safely to the other side because they have the well-honed instincts of a local. You, however, do not. Wait for the pedestrian light if you value your life.
    11. Don't Tell the Cab Driver Where You’re Going Before Getting In
    This way the picky driver won't be able to tell you they’re not going that far. Hail the cab, hop in and then explain where you’d like to go. Use the subway or walk as much as possible, because taxis will most likely end up stuck in gridlock traffic.
    12. Don't Be a Scam Victim
    Don’t buy blank CD's from aspiring young rappers or be fooled by the man dressed in a suit asking for bus fare. Avoid playing card games on the street and watch your wallet in large crowds. New York is full of scam artists, so keep your guard up.
    13. Avoid the High Line on Weekends
    This public park built atop an old elevated railway on Manhattan's West Side is definitely worth strolling, but avoid the weekends when it's a wall-to-wall tourist-clogged conveyor belt.
    Now you've got the NYC street smarts, you're ready for the city that never sleeps!

    @TampaTec Před 6 lety +728

    14. never show your green in public sometimes a hobo will follow you and ask for money.
    15. use Google maps app don't ask for directions because some New Yorkers will ask for money afterwards or get annoyed a tourist is slowing them down from their destination.
    16. don't stare at the homeless and stay in well lit areas with people around, taking the shortcut may get you cut.
    17. lastly go see a show in Manhattan because rising talent started off there like Chris Angel, Madonna, & even Lady Gaga performed at open mic nights back in the day.
    (born and raised in NYC) I live in Tampa now and recommend channelside at downtown Tampa and tradewinds at St Pete Beach 👍

    LOVE this video - I'd add: Don't get at rental car/drive ANYWHERE. Get a Metro card for a week or month, or however long you're staying. Don't stand over people on the subway reading the map. Don't wear your backpack on a crowded train if you're standing (fights happen). Use a handkerchief or napkin to hold on to the pole on the subway (GERMS). Natives usually say "the train", if you're asking for directions. Go to off spots to eat - diners, etc., in the boroughs. Go to museums/zoos/etc., during off hours or during the week (discounts and avoid crowds).

    Um.. You don't really want to "explore" the outer boroughs because they're very vast and have just a few scattered attractions worth seeing.. Queens has the worlds fair thing, the Bronx has Yankee stadium and the zoo, Staten Island WILL HAVE the Ferris wheel (not completed yet), and Brooklyn has Coney Island (highly recommended) and Greenwood cemetery. Other than that, they're mostly residential. So don't just wonder in there unless you know exactly where you're going.

    I live in Queens, one of the 5 boroughs, and I can tell you the most important one is to not walk across the street just because you see others doing it. You may step off the curb late and get hit by a car or cyclist that is going around the group you chose to follow. Look both ways every single time. Even on one-way streets. People on bikes ride opposite on one-way streets and could hit you.

    As a local we do make small talk. Also Manhattan is nice good things to do there Brooklyn has a lot to do and that’s. Proboly the most livly borough Queens has some bad areas but it’s also got some cool things to do. There’s a good german restierant. The world fairgrounds and the iconic 7 train. Statin Island is meh It shouldn’t be on your list unless your gonna be in New York for a while it’s mostly just residential but it does have the ferry. Bronx avoid unless your taking Metro North or Amtrak but it’s got a lot of crime. Although I’ve been there a lot it doesn’t have much to offer for tourists. Over the river in Hoboken is a nice area to walk around and you can take a day trip on a train up to Albany or New Haven or down to Philadelphia.
