Local tips
- Many fabric and supply shops are located on upper floors of office buildings, so check building directories and take the elevator rather than looking only for street-level storefronts.
- Walk with purpose and avoid stopping abruptly in the middle of the sidewalk to check your phone, as this area is a high-traffic corridor for busy industry professionals.
- Be prepared to pay with a credit card or digital wallet, as many local quick-service lunch spots and coffee shops have moved toward cashless operations.
- Standard tipping for sit-down dining is 18-22% of the total bill, and it is customary to double the sales tax amount to quickly estimate a 17.75% tip.
