Planning notes for New York
New York City, located at the mouth of the Hudson River, is a metropolis composed of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island. Originally established as New Amsterdam by Dutch colonists in 1624, the settlement was renamed New York following British acquisition in 1664. The city served as the first capital of the United States under the Constitution, and in 2026, it serves as a primary site for the nation's semiquincentennial celebrations.

- Pay for subway and bus rides by tapping any contactless credit card or mobile wallet at the OMNY readers found at every station entrance.
- Leave a gratuity of 18% to 22% at sit-down restaurants, as tipping is a standard expectation for service staff in the city.
