A resident of New York has compiled a list of the most common mistakes that visitors make the city. According to the author of the publication Thrillist J.P. Hawley, not to look like an idiot in New York, his aunt, with whom he had been a guest since childhood, taught him.

Everyone knows about the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Natural History, and probably the Guggenheim Museum. However, it is worth paying attention to the less well-known. If you're a fan of art, go to the New Gallery, the Cloisters (a branch of the Metropolitan), see the Frick collection and go to the Whitney Museum in Chelsea.

If you are in the city for just a few days, visit the most popular attractions in unpopular times. If you want to see the Statue of Liberty, buy a ticket in advance online and go early; it is much better than waiting for a ferry. The main thing is not to take tickets from the bark on the street.

Yes, New York is an American megalopolis, everything here is painted with graffiti, full of urban madmen, talking to themselves in full voice, and the alleys smell like urine. But do not panic: in New York has never been so safe, the crime rate in Manhattan has reached a historic minimum.

Get lost and not try to navigate

Do not be afraid to ask for help. No one will mind. To give an honest answer to the question “where is the nearest metro station?” Is a matter of honor for any real New Yorker.

Do not know how to catch a taxi

Catching a taxi in New York is a separate science. First, look for a car that will have a sign on the roof highlighted. If it does not glow, it means that the driver does not take passengers. But no one forbids you to raise your hand anyway, just in case.

To see you, you need to go to the roadway. Be persistent. Extend your hand away and try to meet the eyes of a taxi driver. If no one else is trying to catch the car in front of you, everything should work out.

A few more tips. At the intersections, catching a taxi is easier. At five in the evening, taxi drivers have a shift shift, so you can’t catch a car, even if you need it most now, so plan your day carefully.

Well, do not forget about Uber and less known outside the US Lyft.

Ignore the rules of conduct in the subway

The New York Metro transports five million people a day — more than half the population of the US states. This is a lot! Therefore, the first advice on using the New York subway is this: do not be intimidated. Just prepare in advance.

Use the site mta.info, to think over the route in advance and understand how long it will take. On the same site you can check whether there are any problems on the lines.

Download the subway map to your phone (by the way, this can be done via the network Wi-Fiavailable in the subway) or take with paper. It is very useful if there are any problems during the trip - for example, the train will go to the wrong line or drop off all the passengers.

You can not talk about it, but make sure you get on the train in the right direction. Trains to Queens or the Bronx follow north from Manhattan, and to Brooklyn - south.

Also note that some trains (local) follow with all the stops, and others (Expressa) stop only at parts of stations. If you accidentally got on the express train and missed your stop, just get off at the nearest station and take the return train.

To brake others

In New York, sidewalks are highways. You will not suddenly stop or slow down on the track? No, first you curb. Here you need to act the same way. Need to write SMS, look around or tie shoelaces? Get away first. Always remember that the main service you can do to a New Yorker is not to stop him from rushing there when he goes. Perhaps he is already late.

Consider that the car is faster than the subway

An old New York joke says, "Do we have time to take a taxi?" If you need to get somewhere fast, use the subway. Trains do not need to wait for a traffic light or compete for space on the road with cars, cyclists and pedestrians. Even rich New Yorkers use the subway (if they are not celebrities). They call a taxi to get to the house late at night.

Use cycling taxi

Poor people who ride people on their bikes actually sell one of the most expensive services in the city. A rickshaw ride costs five dollars a MINUTE.

Ignore street fast food and cheap restaurants

Always remember: if there is a crowd in an institution, then the locals love it. It doesn't matter if it is a restaurant or a cart with which they sell something incomprehensible in a meal. The Department of Health gives restaurants a rating of A, B, or C. These letters can be seen on the facade of any establishment.

Department inspectors are quite demanding, but if the restaurant is full, there is nothing to worry about if its rating is below A.

There is everything

Read about local establishments or run into poor food and overpriced prices. If you are going somewhere on Friday or Saturday - book a place. Otherwise, you will have dinner either too early or too late. If on a warm Friday evening the restaurant is empty - something is wrong with it. Pass by.

Stay in the center all the time

You will miss a lot of interesting things if you spend all the time in Manhattan or in Brooklyn. Go to the basement cafe in the Hindu temple in the Flushing district or visit the old Italian delicatessen shop on Arthur Avenue. Even the Russian club in Brighton Beach can be quite interesting!

Treat all New Yorkers as boors

New Yorkers can be pleasant and not very. It depends on the person and the moment. If a person is in a hurry or he has had a bad day, he can be rude to you. As in any city, there are louts and fraudsters. However, the majority of New Yorkers are nice people who will help you to get your bearings, if you get lost, they will serve you at a fair price and try to find a solution to your problem.

Visit the same stores as in other cities

In your city there is surely a shopping center. If you flew to New York, do not go to the same. Pay attention to the smaller shops. Most of them are only here.

Worry about everything

It is impossible to do everything in the world. Do not plan too much.

Leave time for aimless walks and accidents - suddenly you will like some area so much that you will want to walk in it all day. Then just take a walk there!

Go to bed too early

Contrary to popular expression, sometimes New York still sleeps, but you better go to bed as late as possible. You will remember the local nights forever: Time Square at one o'clock, Rockefeller Center at Christmas or Greenwich Village on Friday night, when a blizzard beautifully envelops the city.

Ignore free stuff

It is possible that in some places in New York cocktails really cost 17 dollars, but here it’s not at all necessary to be rich.

Free admission to museums on certain days, open galleries, free stand-ups, street performers in parks and metro stations - you can enjoy the culture all day without spending a cent.

If you are skeptical, check out the free stuff list in New York.

The last three "no"

Do not brake. For no reason. Always be ready to order, use the pass, pay for the entrance - anything.

Do not take a selfie at the monument to the victims of 11 September. Have respect.

In case of rain, choose a smaller umbrella. If you interfere with passersby, forget about the kindness of New Yorkers. They know how to pass off the level of the most violent hockey matches as an accident.
