​@@MohammadHossainMD Typically in NYC, a tip can also be double the sales tax, which is 9+%. I remember when tipping used to be 15% minimum. I think it increased to 20% when sales tax increased from 8.25% to 9.xx%, since doubling sales tax was always an acceptable method.

Went on vacation to New York recently and I was honestly preparing for it to be much more stressful than it actually was. Like figuring out the subways was surprisingly easy, and I didn't feel threatened anywhere I went. But the number 1 thing that reeally caught me off-guard was just how nice everyone was! Every single interaction we had in NYC was extremely positive, and the entire time me and my friends were just joking about "where's all the rude people at?!" There were a few people who just joined in on our conversation and were actually really cool. Great city, can't wait to come back!

Right? Everyone is in a rush and superficially rude in the respect that you have to be aggressive to get anything done. Difference is, hardly anyone takes it personally unlike drama queen nation in so many other areas. Get a typical New Yorker one-on-one and they will usually bend over backward to help an out-of-towner!

As a New Yorker since 1992, I'd add a small extra bit to your tip #8. Yes indeed, most New Yorkers ARE extremely helpful. We WANT to help. We have opinions! But we live in a city where we are piled on top of each other, so we learn (most of us, anyway!) to respect each other's space. What I'm getting at: just go ahead and talk with the locals! So many times I've seen a family standing somewhere looking at a map of the city, and I WANT to go help them, but I also want to respect their space. Also, I don't want to weird them out by approaching them. But if they stop me and ask, "Excuse me, can you tell me where is Strawberry Fields?" I'm going to be all over that answer, whether they should walk or cab it from here, where to eat, what else to see that's nearby. So folks, use your best judgment, but don't be shy about asking a question!

Hi John. The gf and i went on a NY vacation one month ago and I'm sure we had a great time thanks to you and your work. We had plenty of delicious and cheap meals, we even got a free hotdog from bill! 😍 we got to see nice things that you just wouldn't see if you don't know they are there such as the plexiglass waterfall tunnel or getting faster into the AMNH through its subway entrance. We always felt at ease using the subway all over Manhattan thanks to your tips and we did make the price worth for the 7-day metro card. I was hoping to get into a conversation where I would have to say "Houston street" and feel proud of myself for pronouncing it correctly 😅 We would've been delighted to encounter you on the streets but maybe for the next time. Thanks again and keep it up!

Before going to NY, I had watched a ton of your videos and it made my trip so much easier :) I had nice encounters with the locals with one exception. I went with my friend to the Pearl diner (recommended by you in one of your videos ;) And as much as I could understand it was Saturday morning, everyone in a rush - the guy serving me made my blood boil. I know my English :) but of course when I started speaking he immediately could hear I was not local. He mumbled something under his nose like a bratty teenager. When I politely asked him to repeat he rolled his eyes and did the same thing. As I didn't want to get into an argument with him there, I just rolled my eyes back at him and expressed -politely- what I thought. He was surprised a bit but he apologized. And while paying, the lady told me I didn't have to tip as she saw what happened. Otherwise everyone else in NY was extremely polite and helpful.

I'm currently on my second trip to NY within a 2 month timeframe, (Had to book another trip once I got back from the first because I loved it so much) I've been stopped multiple times by other tourists thinking I was a local and asking for directions because I must visually look like I know what I'm doing, because I've taken the time to research the basics thanks to your videos. So thank you. My advice is simple, take the time to enjoy yourself and have more unique, authentic experiences. Don't try and squeeze your sightseeing on the same day, making your trip feel like an exhausting chore. You'll come home more fulfilled, having enjoyed your time rather than feeling like it was a blur. Oh, and go see a Broadway show. Those were my personal unexpected favorite experiences that I can't recommend enough.

Early this year when I was visiting New York, a man on crack entered the the subway cart I was on. I come from a tiny city so his entry made me look up for just a split second to see what was going on. He saw that I looked up and ran over to me, to talk to me. I was sure he'd somehow get into a confrontation with me, so I just looked down and ignored him. At one point he offered me crack. One of the only questions I heard him ask was if my girlfriend (Native New Yorker, sitting next to me) was actually my girlfriend. He went on to harass every woman in the cart before running in and out a couple of times when we stopped. Luckily not coming back eventually. Being from a place with almost no crime and not a very apparent drug problem it's quite different to see it up close, and it really made me realize that I should absolutely just try to mind my own business every time I go back in New York. Even if you prepare for the situations it can get very uncomfortable very fast. Other than the airport I landed at (Newark) I've mostly only had very nice interactions with people when visiting. I can't wait to see the city during Christmas this year, I'm sure it'll be stunning! I've watched quite a few videos that you have posted and it certainly has made me very interested in different things to do around the city. Your content is great, keep it up!

He didn't answer, and someone behind me asked the same thing. He did charge me $1.00 extra, and the only reason why i took the food was because I was famished. I did confront him. I guess I could have called my bank to contest the charges. I am still tempted to report him to the City. Each cart has a NUMBER that identifies the truck.

I’m a New York City electrician and yes, absolutely ask for prices at street carts. The number of times I’ve called out these guys for trying to charge me $5 for water is insane. Be especially careful around tourist hotspots, but also along famous roads. 5th Avenue, which is next to Central Park, is notorious for attracting these types of food carts.

OMG don’t stop at the top of the subway steps, especially to take a picture. Something that’s worked well for me visiting NYC is to ask the server or cashier at an eatery what their favorite meal at the place is and then get that.

My daughter and I were approached by a homeless man. He knew we were looking for a destination and said he could help us. We politely said no thank you and kept walking. Luckily we were walking amongst a lot of other people so I think that helped as well.

Here in Italy a coffee at the bar costs about 1.1€, for me is totally insane leave a tip of 1€ . Please change your way of doing things, and like in Europe espose the final price, even at stores, it's more practical.
@johnsamoilis6379
@johnsamoilis6379 Год назад
Its not practical in the USA or Canada to put sales tax into the final price. There are so many different taxing jurisdictions which have different rates depending where you are at the City, County, State/Province, and special district level. Then some items in some places at considered tax exempt for example Clothing in NJ is exempt from sales tax while in NY its taxable. It would cost too much money to advertise by having to show different prices in ads across thousands of taxing jurisdictions. Usually sales tax in the USA maxes out at 13%.(Usually between 4% and 10%) Sometimes there is additional sales taxes on event tickets, parking, and hotels which can bring the effective rate up to 20% sales tax.

We were just in New York for 15 days and your guides helped a lot. Although I have to say it felt a lot safer than we had imagined after watching various people warning us.Maybe we were lucky or maybe because I am a tall and big dude🤷🏻‍♂️ There were indeed a few mentally ill people but overall it was ok. An advice from me (specially for summer visitors) when you see a street vendor selling 1$ cold water,get it!You can save a lot of money cause water bottles are pretty expensive(at least compared to greece) Ps. Visit “Between the Bagel” in Astoria,imho it definitely has a place in your guides!

Wait, is the one dollar water guy there? Several years ago, he was a regular around the Baltimore Inner Harbor during Otakon. When it comes to the warnings, it's usually handpicked news that frighten people. Even my son was scared when he moved to NYC for the first time, yet watched me walk around like a local when I visited him. Now, he knows what to do and NYC is his favorite place.

My young adult niece and I are taking our second NYC trip on Dec 1st, for one week, to see the Christmas decorations. ( Our 1st trip was in early Oct '22.) Coming from Southern California, I have to admit of being wary of the freezing cold weather, as we plan to walk to most places from our hotel in Times Square, or take cabs. Hopefully, the weather won't be too drastic.

Same flat far to get to JFK, so we decided to take it. Upon arrival we were surprised that we had to pay cash and no option to pay with card ...

Well to be fair, "Sch" in Dutch is a little tricky for non-native speakers. It's not a "k" like Skermerhorn for Schermerhorn. e.g. "Schiphol" the name of the airport near Amsterdam, could be described as a combo of "s" and the German "ch" as in "Bach" pronounced [sxɪp(ɦ)ɔl or sxɪpˈɦɔl]

Ill add some others 1. Dont fear the outer boros there are some excellent gems there that are great places for tourists...even coney island has cleaned up its act (tho nathans is a tourist trap hint its the same as their other outlets with maybe a slightly expanded menu) 1a. Manhattan is NOT the home of the best...little italy (arthur Ave in the bronx), Chinatown (flushing at the end of the 7), latin food barrio (jackson heights queens), Soul Food destination (ft Greene brooklyn) seafood (sheepshead bay esp randazzos) medditerean food (Astoria) want the true NY have at least one meal outside of manhattan (your wallet will thank you too) 2. If you speak Spanish so does most of ny...russian you can find someone easily to help...chinese again there are places you can stay where its the primary tongue...most languages you can find an area that speaks your language although dialects may be an issue with french as Creole French is more widely spoken 3. Dont talk or flaunt politics or religion especially in these days...true story i once got a very nice red hat from a college i support...i got catcalled in Jamaica cuz the letterung made it look like a Trump hat...not trouble i want...i threw it out at once...there are strong emotions out there and being overtly political is a nice way to end up in a confrontation 3a: we put up with The Donald for over 30 years before he ran for president his father for decades before that...oh yes we have stories...and we have strong opinions with more history held for a longer time...be ready to hear it ALL if you bring him up lol also with a few exceptions namely Trump Tower itself Most "Trump" buildings were divested by The Donald years ago but keep the name...they know him about as well as you do...not at all 4 this is a brand new one...be careful with the smoke shops most are NOT licenced to sell cbd or Marijuana products but of course most sell it underground...its a hot button with police...yes weed is legal in NY but theyre still working the bugs out and no reason yo get scammed or run afoul of NYPD over 5. DO NOT TAKE PICTURES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDEWALK...STEP TO THE CURB OR OUT OF PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC most shoving incidents i see involve this we are busy abd blocking traffic is just adding to the agony. 5a: on escelators stand right walk left if its narrow and most are walking...walk esp near commuter areas or on subways 6. Please Don't Karen: most new yorkers take diversity seriously we survive and THRIVE by it and are Proud of it...dressing down someone over a lack of english or an accent is the fastest way to make an enemy...paitence is a virtue and i see it with tourists all the time sadly

Last one....PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not buy FDNY or NYPD gear at a tourist shop...cops and firemen see none of that money and its just a rip off for all concerned Fdny has an official store near 30 rock...Most firehouses will have a small stash of merch for sale (just make sure they aren't busy) that benefits local fire and police charities police is more a challenge but most cops can tell you where you can give to help police or family of those lost protecting our city...if your going to flaunt our defenders do it in a way that helps them 7a while most cops and mounted officers WILL pose for pictures remember they are on duty and here to protect you and all NYers so take NO and always ask nicely first also NEVER attempt to pet a police service animal without express permission of their handler they are on the job too. I see this too often and many friends who are service workers admit its an annoying part if their job 7c 9/11 is still a sore spot for many...almost all those there at the time know someone lost...dont poke around too much in conversation and PLEASE be respectful at the 9/11 memorial that is NOT the place for duck face selfies!
