Here's a secret that made traversing NYC via train much easier - the subway travels in the direction of traffic! Say you want to go downtown from Times Square, turn towards the direction you want to go and get into the subway station on the right side of the road. Another one are the ferries. You can get very nice views of Manhattan by taking the ferry north from Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Tickets are just $4. Regarding OMNY, great system, shame they haven't rolled it out to the AirTrain or LIRR. I would love to see more cooperation between the different transport agencies. One app for the LIRR, another for the ferries, and only MetroCard for AirTrain is a bit too much. Worst of all LIRR app doesn't even work with foreign cards so you have to get the ticket from the machines.

This could be a lifesaver next week. I screwed up so many times when I was there in March. It's a very different arrangement from the UK.

I have been to Ny several times, and I keep watching you, you are always giving me new things to do. Some things I never heard of, I think it will take a lifetime to do it all 😁 Thank you, love the channel 👍🏼

Congrats to you and Adriana on becoming parents ☺

Love your channel. Thanks for all the tips and ideas. Really well put together and presented.. The askkhonsu service looks amazing and will help plan our fairly brief December trip. Keep up the great work and congratulations on the baby!

The baby is here? 👶🏻Who knew?! Congrats to you both. 🎉👏🏼

Thank you for the tips and congratulations on the baby boy.

Another great content, Jon. Been watching a lot of new things about NYC, probably going back there sooner that I expected. Thanks.

Great info, thanks! Looking forward to the free museum days!

This was a very useful video dude! Thanks for the info! ❤

Love your content man! Been planning to take my mother on a retirement trip to NYC and all of those tips you provided I found really worthwhile, especially the free greeters and museums bit, which I had no clue about. Will most definitely "take advantage" of that! Greetings from Bulgaria :)

Jon, you and your colleagues have these videos down to a science which is why they're so fun to watch: the maximum amount of information conveyed in a fun & concise way. I wish they were around back when I was visiting NYC, but if n' when I do get back I'm going to do a deep dive of research through your channel for my favorite recommendations you've made. Oh, and more importantly congratulations to you & your wife on becoming parents!

We met with someone from the Big Apple Greeters and had the BEST time, 10/10 would recommend. Our greeter was bilingual, too, which was great since my mom doesn't speak much English. They don't take tips, but they do accept donations to keep the program going, which is cool.

Bendiciones to you and your family on the birth of your son! John's pizzeria reminds me of the Limelight when it was a club, now a mall.

Museum of the Moving Image in Queens is free from 2-6pm on Thursdays. Great museum! On the same street, is Sacs, an upscale pizza place in the former commissary of Kaufman Astoria Studios. Also, my favorite, Napoli pizza. Same street. Small place but absolutely fantastic food at great prices

Just wanted to chime in as someone who lives in nyc. Be VERY careful when using Omny. It’s just a magnetic field that reads your phone so if you aren’t careful you can get double charged. A lot of us are still using the metro card until they work out the omny kinks.

So amazing! ❤this

Wow You really worth watching, and a good tip

Psst… Jon… for OMNY, just tap your phone like on other Apple Pay devices. No need to hold flat against OMNY screen. In fact, doesn’t even have to touch at all. So easy. Pass it on…

I have done the Free tours by foot. Our tour guide was great

Nice! ! Thanks 😊✌️

People need to know that unlimited MetroCards impose a wait time before they can be used again on the same transit system (ie subway, bus). It's something like 20 minutes. So you cannot swipe in a group of people within seconds of each other. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Totally agree on John’s of Times Square. An oasis in a food desert.

Lonk NYCs saved me a bunch. So happy I found out on my first year here.

I love your channel - I've watched so many of your videos to check out things to do in NYC ahead of our first visit which we did a couple of weeks ago. We did actually visit the McGraw-Hill waterfall as it was only about a block from our hotel. Do they only put out the tables in summer because there were none there when we visited? We also used LinkNYC to connect to WiFi and I also tried to make a phone call but we were at a really noisy location and couldn't hear the automated menu when we got through. Keep up the great work and we'll be checking out more because I'm sure we'll be coming back soon.

I spend one week last month... I did some site seeing ..it was great

This is making me hungry. I love pizza. Great info!

Love your content! my Art should be in the Whitney!

Good tips Bet I've walked by Link NYC but did not know. Cheers from that place

Cheers Jon. I'm visiting New York from Scotland for the first time best month and i think a lot of tourists just have a mindset that they don't mind spending a little extra on things because "f*** it, we're on holiday". Can justify spending a wee bit more without being completely stung, cos its a once in a lifetime experience for many. For example, I want to do a helicopter tour while I'm there :) it's a pne-off experience :) thanks for your videos

Great video Jon! Thanks for clarifying the downside to the OMNY, it's really designed more for locals, and it is not so great for tourists. I'd like to think NY will address that, but in my heart I think they probably know, and just don't care if it costs tourists more.

Yes, like the Oyster card for London, tap-to-pay is not a good idea if your phone or tap card is connected to a foreign bank. The "foreign transaction fee" may be more than the fare depending on the agreement with the bank. So I have an Oyster card tied for auto top-up to my US bank account so that it tops up £40 at a time and I only pay the exchange fee for the top-up, not for each tap.

@@aptadpamuadmission fees are often needed to help keep a natural resource sustainable and not overrun with visitors (like Hanauma Bay for example). Those fees also will contribute to the maintenance of that place. Allowing a lower cost for residents makes sense since tourists typically make up most of those visitor counts anyway. And it’s like a goodwill gesture to residents. When I travel I don’t mind if local residents pay less than me for admission to a tourist attraction. I think that’s fair since I’m the one visiting but they live there.

Best Pizza here in da city is Bleeker St in west village. Joe's one in West Village, other location is Joe's on East 14th in East Village. Sauce on East 12 th st between 1st and 2nd ave. Village Square on Ave A across from Tompkins Sq park. For best Italian food you have to go Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. Best authentic Italian food in America not just NYC. Also the best and freshest Cannoli's . They fill them while you wait. Also the Staten Island Ferry is free and on Staten island side are The outlets. Across the street from Empire Outlets is Ruddy & Deans Steak house less expensive than the city

Congratultions on parenthood. I hope you never flee to the suburbs. 😂 I love the free museum tip. On a previous trip, I could only afford to visit three museums, although I did go to FIT.

I actually got an OMNY card so I can load money on it like the metro card. The difference is I can reload it on the internet rather than at the machine. Plus I can just tap it rather than swipe it and hope I didn’t either swipe it too fast or too slow.
