There are a few things you need to do in order to have a great time during your visit to New York City and really experience why it is one of the most special cities in the world. The list includes checking out Times Square, waving at the Statue of Liberty, downing a New York pizza slice, and avoiding the following tourist mistakes.
Thinking You Need to See it All
New York City is too big and has too many amazing things to offer for you to experience it all during a single trip. If you try to do this, you will find yourself constantly trying to make the next thing without properly appreciating the last one. Pick things you really want to see or do and leave the rest for your next visit.
Taking a Cab
You should only get a cab in New York City if you really want to see how it feels to be inside one or if you are a fan of Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece Taxi Driver. If you want to get from point A to point B, the subway is a cheaper and usually faster option.
Thinking Getting Broadway Tickets is Easy
Broadway shows are extremely popular, and everyone wants to see one while they are in New York City. If you plan to do the same, don’t expect to be able to just buy a ticket at a ticket counter on the day of the show. Instead, buy one well before your trip.
Missing Out on Less Popular Parts of the City
Most people visiting New York City focus only on Manhattan and Brooklyn. However, other parts of the city, like the Queens and the Bronx, have a special vibe as well and are well worth checking out.
