10 things you can do better or avoid in New York

• Once at the airport , I recommend: use the AirTrain subway , shuttles, taxis, and if you want a convenient service and can spend a little more, you can book a transfer with us. CLICK HERE

1. Attention : Don't be fooled by the scammers, they offer you a transfer to the hotel in a black Lincoln limousine. Often they make up stories such as that the AirTrain is out of service or they give you a fixed price, when they get to the hotel they argue that it was the price per person, often double or triple the price, they also threaten to call the police.

• Don't buy the electronic products in the stores in and around Times Square. In most cases the goods are overpriced, so it's better to shop at B & H or the Apple Store .

• If you pay with your card, a “Tip” field will be open on the bill . There you can enter the desired amount, usually 20% of the total price, otherwise cross it out. On the other hand, the waitress can enter the amount there, it almost never happens, but there is no reason to take a risk.

• Under no circumstances should you urinate on the street or drink alcohol , otherwise you could face a hefty fine and in some cases even a night in prison. You also have to appear before the court.

• Don't use the pedicab, the bicycle version of the rickshaw on the streets of New York. They demand absurd amounts of money.

• If you order a beer or a drink at the bar, it is customary to leave $1-2 per drink on the counter .

• Be careful when taking photos of the costumed people in Times Square . If you take photos of them secretly or don't give them a tip after taking the photos, they can sometimes become aggressive.

• If you are renting a house or apartment, it is best to do so through a secure site such as Airbnb. You can find more information about Airbnb in New York here. CLICK HERE

• Avoid exchanging money in exchange offices , it is better to withdraw money from ATMs. There you only pay a small fee of $3-5 and can therefore save a lot of money.
