Ride the subway! Buy a MetroCard for and ride for the next 7 days trouble-free! Spend Sunday walking in Little Italy. Visit Penn Station. Stand in a "lottery line" to "win" tickets to a Broadway show. Eat at Ellen's Stardust Diner. Go to the bathroom whenever you see one, as they are difficult to find. Carry some of your own toilet paper and wet wipes, as some of the public washrooms leave much to be desired. Eat a cheese-filled pretzel from a street vendor. Ride a ferry to see Lady Liberty! Hang out with the bull near Wall Street. Visit Times Square at least once.
Quick Tips:
Learn how to get tickets at the hottest, most sold-out Broadway shows by going to the theatre and asking about their "lottery" and their "cancellation" lines. Learn one day and put your knowledge to work the next day. Be prepared to stand in line, but you will get a ticket. Best Way To Get Around:
Forget the taxi--ride the subway. It is safe and efficient. But buy a MetroCard first. If you get on a wrong train, get off at the next stop and reverse. Get a map first! They are free and make great souvenirs. Ask for directions. We were responded to in a friendly, helpful manner 100% of the time.
