NYC Tourist Etiquette

  • DO NOT DRESS ALIKE.
  • Watch out for DELIVERY and MESSENGER BIKES!
  • DO NOT DO THE FOLLOWING: Walk 4 abreast holding hands; Congregate around busy street corners, hang around stairways or active doorways; Do not clutter up Grand Central Station during rush-hour (8-9 and 17-18) — it’s much nicer around 11;
  • Hey Buddy! Get outta the way! Despite the above, let me remind you that this is a working city. This is not like Washington, DC, or Las Vegas — places that are artificially supported by the hard work of fools from other cities.
