Planning notes for Manhattan
Manhattan is an island borough of New York City, bounded by the Hudson, East, and Harlem Rivers. Historically, the land was inhabited by the Lenape people before Dutch settlers established New Amsterdam in 1624. The English took control in 1664, renaming it New York. The borough served as the capital of the United States from 1785 to 1790.

- Step to the side of the sidewalk or subway platform before stopping to check your phone or a map to avoid blocking the flow of traffic.
- Remove your backpack and hold it at your feet when boarding a crowded subway car to create more space for fellow passengers.
- Expect to tip 18-22% at full-service restaurants, as gratuity is a standard and essential part of service worker compensation in the city.
