Remaining 2.5%? A standard tip is 20% these days!!Depending on quality of the hotel I recommend staying as far away from Times Square as possible. Check all TripAdvisor reviews of any hotel in which you intend staying. The subway in New York is good so even a hotel on the periphery may be a better choice. You'll come across many diners in NY so again do your homework reading the reviews. Note some of the breakfasts are huge. Open top bus tour is good. Tipping is expected everywhere so bring enough change every day. If you leave a 10% tip in a restaurant you may be followed out of the restaurant to contribute the remaining 2.5%, I kid you not. Shopping is excellent in the big stores where your passport will work as an additional discount card. Get your hands on as many discount cards (labels) as you can. The tendency there is to sell, sell, sell. Enjoy.
Not to mention the almost 10% taxes on top of the displayed prices in most cases...Agree with Steven, factor in 20% minimum tip for meals.
+1Haven't been in a while, but the high line gets good reviews as a place to hang out. Also suggest taking the Staten Island ferry over and back for views of the statue of liberty. Enjoy!
NFL for sure, and in theory, sounds like a good idea, to see baseball for the first time, but after going to one in Shea Stadium, i wouldn’t recommend it, its a “coma inducing” waste of time, the most boring sport i’ve ever seen- bar none, half the crowd are asleep half the time, and games goes on for several hours, with almost nothing happening for 90 % of the time, and you are totally fleeced for drinks and snacks, for an extended period of time.Thanks all for the suggestions, will hopefully get to many of them. Going in September, flying into Newark. Going to NFL & a baseball game, big sports fans!
I couldn't agree more.the most boring sport i’ve ever seen- bar none, half the crowd are asleep half the time, and games goes on for several hours, w
