Local tips
- Treat sidewalks like highways by walking on the right and stepping aside completely if you need to stop, check your phone, or take a photo.
- When using the subway, let passengers exit the train fully before you attempt to board and move toward the center of the car to keep the doors clear.
- Standard tipping in full-service restaurants is 18-20% of the total bill, and you can easily calculate this by doubling the tax amount shown on your receipt.
- Use the OMNY tap-to-pay system with your contactless card or smartphone at subway turnstiles and on buses for the most efficient transit experience.
