Local tips
- Walk on the right side of the sidewalk and step to the edge near a building or curb if you need to stop to check your phone or take a photo.
- Pay for subway and bus fares by tapping any contactless credit card or mobile wallet at the OMNY readers to avoid purchasing physical MetroCards.
- Allow passengers to exit the subway car completely before you attempt to board and move toward the center of the car to keep the doors clear.
- Tip between 18% and 20% at sit-down restaurants, as gratuity is often not included unless you are dining with a group of six or more.
