New York: 5 Things Every Tourist Must Know Before They Visit New York City
Want Some Travel Advice for Visiting New York City & Getting the Most Out of Your Visit? Well here we have 5 tips for travelers and tourists heading to New York, the Big Apple! These tips will help you enjoy more of what to see and do and enjoy in New York!

Tip #1. Walking is a way of life in New York, so don't stop in the middle of the sidewalk. You will get run over. Step to the side to take your pictures of the Empire State Building or Times Square.
Tip #2. Be Ready! Whether it is to pay the check or pay for a drink or get on the subway be ready to pay as things move quickly in New York and the locals will get annoyed at you for wasting their time.
Tip #3. Have Cash... oddly enough there are still a lot of places in New York (comparatively) that still only take cash. ATMs are everywhere and they charge a lot for withdrawals.
Tip #4. You can enjoy New York without busting your budget. With museums that have suggested prices where you can pay what ever you want, to free nights at museums and free sights you can see New York and still have some money left over, though the hotels are insane expensive no matter what.
Tip #5. Use the toilet before you leave your hotel. New York public toilets are nasty so make sure you use the toilet before you leave the hotel.

Visit New York - Hotel Advice for New York City
Heading to New York & Not Sure What Your Hotel Accommodations Will Be Like? Well here we give you advice and tips on some of the typical hotels you will find in New York City.
1. They are expensive so plan accordingly. There are cheap tourist things to do in New York City, but the hotel is not one of them.
2. There are high taxes on hotel rooms which makes the rooms even more expensive.
3. The rooms are usually small, so you if you are a family make sure you let them know so you will have enough room.
4. WiFi is usually free, but breakfast is not. Many hotels do not offer breakfast, but there are a lot of options in NYC for breakfast so you will be fine.
5. You will always want to use the toilet before you leave the hotel as NYC public toilets are nasty.
6. You probably should tip the cleaning staff between $2 and $5 per day. We leave a little note for them as well.
7. There are high early check in fees, but most hotels will hold your luggage for free.
