Planning notes for New York
New York City is a geographic and cultural center established as a Dutch trading post named New Amsterdam in the early 17th century. It transitioned to British control in 1664 and served as the first capital of the United States from 1785 to 1790. The city's physical layout is defined by the 1811 Commissioner's Plan, which established the grid system of streets and avenues in Manhattan. The architectural landscape contains a high density of skyscrapers.

Local tips
- Treat sidewalks like highways by staying to the right and stepping aside completely if you need to stop for photos or directions.
- Always allow passengers to exit the subway car fully before you attempt to board and move toward the center of the car to make space.
- Tip a minimum of 18-20% at sit-down restaurants, as this is a standard local expectation rather than a bonus for exceptional service.
- Use the OMNY contactless system to pay for public transit by tapping your credit card or smartphone directly at the turnstiles.
