Planning notes for New York
New York City, located at the mouth of the Hudson River, was established as a Dutch trading post named New Amsterdam in 1624 before being ceded to the English in 1664. It served as the capital of the United States from 1785 to 1790. Historically, the city functioned as the primary point of entry for millions of immigrants through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954.

Local tips
- Download the OMNY app or use a contactless credit card to tap-and-go at subway turnstiles instead of buying physical MetroCards.
- Walk on the right side of the sidewalk and step to the side completely if you need to stop or check your phone to avoid blocking foot traffic.
- Expect to tip between 18% and 22% at sit-down restaurants, as gratuity is rarely included in the bill.
