Local tips
- Use the OMNY contactless system to pay for subways and buses by simply tapping your phone or credit card at the turnstile.
- Walk on the right side of the sidewalk and step aside completely if you need to stop for photos or directions to avoid blocking the flow of foot traffic.
- Expect to tip between 18% and 22% at full-service restaurants, as gratuity is rarely included in the menu price and is a primary source of income for staff.
- Avoid entering a subway car that is completely empty when the rest of the train is crowded, as there is usually a practical reason like a lack of air conditioning or a strong odor.
