A Carriage Ride in Central Park

Tip Guide: In New York, like the rest of the U.S., gratuities are not included in the service check. Waiters and bartenders receive 15 to 20%; Taxis: 15% of fare; Bellhops: $1 per bag; Coat check: $1 per coat.  

Museums: NYC supports over 150 museums, each open to the public. Check your tourist guides or call ahead for specific hours.

Walking: The 6,400 miles of sidewalks of NYC mean tired feet, especially to those used to driving everywhere. Sightseeing is not a fashion show - wear comfortable shoes.

Bicycles: You may rent bicycles and skates in and around Central Park. Tourists should not attempt cycling or skating on city streets as it can be quite dangerous.

Ferry: The Staten Island Ferry Terminal is next to Battery Park where the boat to the Statue of Liberty docks. The ferry provides a wonderful view of Manhattan and is FREE to ride. Take a picnic lunch. This is far superior to waiting on line forever for the boat to Liberty Island.

Always plan an emergency meeting place or message center for your group.
