Default Re: Getting around in New York City

NYC uses a Metrocard for public transportation.

Some NYC Rules and tips
Gold is not Gold if you buy it on the street (also applies to Rolex and Coach)
3 card monte is a game designed to seperate you from your money
Ride the subway but wait for the trains within ear shot and eye shot of the "token booth"

Best kosher deli is at the 2nd ave deli which is in the E.30's
Best Chinese go to China town- Wo Hop on Motts Street
Famous Ray's pizza is only famous for having a large # of locations
Dirty water hot dogs (under the umbrella) are eaten with mustard and onions
Best Italian is Puglia's in little Italy
Best Pizza is Johns in the Village

Enjoy your trip but travel smart
