how not to be a tourist (how much, costs, move)

[Chava61]

If you stop to take photos, stand somewhere where you aren't disrupting the flow of walking people on the sidewalk.

Dont carry a huge camera on ur neck

Dont wear I <3 NY anything

Avoid times square like the plague

I mean..i go to museums and "touristy" things all the time. Just look normal

[StaggerLee22]

Stay home.































Seriously.

In addition to the above advice, dress well.

Cheap "dad jeans" from wal-mart and dirty sneakers call out a tourist a mile away. And the tourists dressed this way generally tend to be overweight.

Please if your going to stop to take a picture be mindful of those around you, don't block the flow of people trying to move.

No one cares.


NYC is the second most visited city in the world, you're just another one amonsgt millions.

Only petty people care about this nonsense.

Treat the sidewalk like its a street. Don't stop short or walk 5 people across and you'll be good.

If riding the subway don't clog the door - move further in if there's room. If sitting and there are no more seats offer your seat to an older woman. Also don't wear a huge backpack while riding the subway, just take it off.

Hail a cab in the direction you want to go, if you're going north don't hail a cab on a southbound avenue.

Don't spend a dime in Times Square.

......and VISIT THE BOROUGHS.

If you do these things, you'll have better manners than many New Yorkers!

Don't lean on the subway poles.
