How To Pass A Day In New York City.

<p align=right>by Dencho Denchev</p>

<div align=justify>Getting To New York:

Served by three major airports, two train  terminals and a
massive bus depot, New York  City is the most important
transportation hub  in the northeastern USA. John F Kennedy
Airport (JFK), 15 miles (24km) from Midtown Manhattan
in southeastern Queens, is where  most international
flights land. Recently  voted the third-worst airport facility
in the  world by business travelers, JFK is best  avoided.

La Guardia Airport in northern Queens is 8  miles (13km)
from Manhattan and services  mostly domestic flights. If
you're arriving  or departing in the middle of the day, La
Guardia is a more convenient choice than JFK.  Newark
Airport is in New Jersey, directly 10  miles (16km) west
of Manhattan.

Eating In New York:

Need some recommendations? Try the relaxed  gourmet
cuisine of Portuguese restaurant  Alfama on 551 Hudson
Street (especially on  Wednesdays); the funky yet provincial
Italian  hotspot, Max on 51 Avenue B; and in the  summer
there is always the 79th Street Boat  Basin for sunsets,
barbecued food and great  atmosphere.  
 
Getting Around In New York City:

There are 5 main ways to get around New York,  they are;

By Subway, By Taxi, By Car, By Bus, By Foot

The subway isn't the cleanest form of  transportation,
homeless people live in  stations and even in subway cars;
but since  everyone uses it all the time, central 
Manhattan is generally considered safe.

Nighttime is not necessarily a dangerous time  to travel
as long as you are taking a popular  subway line, abstain
from flashy jewelry, and  are not going to one of the outer
boroughs.  Stay away from the platform's edge, and board 
the train during non-rush hours from the off- peak waiting
area, marked at the center of  every platform (this area
is monitored by  cameras, and the conductor's car often stops
here).

Once you board, try to be in the same subway  car as other
people you think are safe and stay near the middle to be
close to the  conductor (you'll see his face from the 
platform).

During rush hour and in crowded stations like  42nd
St.-Times Sq., hold your bag with the  opening facing you
to discourage pickpockets.  A real concern for women is
sexual  molestation - there are quite a few crazies  who
ride the subways to brush up or grope  others. If this
happens, be loud in your indignation.

When dealing with taxi drivers, remember that  they know
where they are going better than  you, so don't presume
to know the best route  to somewhere because it's what
you've heard.

Remember to tip at least 15% and a minimum  tip of at
least 50 cents if not more.
