- Step to the side or near a building wall if you need to stop to check a map or take a photo to avoid blocking foot traffic.
- Use the OMNY contactless system to pay for subways and buses by simply tapping your credit card, smartphone, or wearable at the turnstile.
- Expect to tip 18-22% for sit-down restaurant service, as gratuity is a significant part of server wages and rarely included in the menu price.
