Planning notes for New York
New York City, situated at the mouth of the Hudson River, consists of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. Originally established as the Dutch trading post New Amsterdam in 1624, the settlement was renamed New York in 1664 following British acquisition. The city served as the first capital of the United States under the Constitution in 1789. The architectural landscape features a high concentration of skyscrapers.

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.
