You are right about New Yorkers being friendly and helpful. I mashed up my knee when I was a paratrooper in the Canadian army. Periodically it gives out. I was in NYC on business and was crossing 49th, and all of a sudden I was doing a face plant in the middle of the street. Suddenly I was surrounded by people ....helping me up ......helping me to the curb. One guy stood in the middle of traffic with his hands outstretched to keep me from being run over. A woman was on her cell phone calling 911. She thought I was having a heart attack. Great, kind, caring folks, and they get a bad ...undeserved ....rap.

We're a little suspicious of others because trust me...WE HAVE SEEN IT ALL and we know it's sometimes best not to look. This city can be rough on you after a long time, and it's crowded almost everywhere, so you have to be a little self-protective so you don't get annoyed with everyone. This sensory overload is rather shocking for tourists, so just imagine how exhausting it can be at the end of a bad day. But helpful, hell yes. I love helping lost tourists!

To be fair, those workers behind the counter are notorious for being rude and unhelpful. They don't represent all New Yorkers so don't let that stop you from visiting again! If you're ever here and need directions, feel free to ask a local. The secret is to get straight to the point. "Can you tell me which train to take to ground zero?" If you start off with a "good morning" or "excuse me, how are you today?" we will think that you're one of the several people who approach us on a daily basis asking for money, so we've trained ourselves to ignore most people who start speaking to us like that. Otherwise, we are more than happy to help. Sincerely, someone who lives in New York.

Okay. A few things from someone born and raised in New York. First of all, if you really have to go to the bathroom and you aren’t near your hotel, any diner, bar, pizza place, fast food restaurant or hotel will do. They all have public restrooms. Any establishment that serves food in NY is required, by law, to have a public restroom. If they will not let you use it unless you are a customer, become one. It’s really as simple as that. You don’t have to spend much. I’ve never used a street toilet in NYC in all the years I have lived here and I never had my own hotel room to fall back on. Second, if you want to stop and do something on a street in NY, get close to the building. He’s right, don’t stop in the middle of the sidewalk, you will literally get run over. There is a pace to NY streets, a momentum. You interrupt that and you can get more than yelled at by an irate pedestrian. You could get hurt. So to avoid this, go as close as possible to the building away from the door. You can also stop by the curb away from the corner. Also, be sure to ask your NYC host if they want to join you. You have no idea how many people here, born and raised, who have not been to the Statue of Liberty! The exhibits at the museums change constantly, especially at the art museums. So ask away, I know I’d rather go to the Met than go to work. Also, the Circle Line and the Staten Island Ferry are two COMPLETELY different experiences. I 100% disagree with him, there is no comparison, definitely take it if you visit NY on a warm sunny day. First of all, you get NO EAST RIVER VIEWS on the Ferry and they are spectacular. Most of the views shown on TV are not from the Hudson River side. The UN is on the East River. You will not see that on the Ferry. Secondly, it doesn’t go uptown to the Cloisters. It’s absolutely beautiful and they’re now doing so much construction on the upper west side, it’s all shiny and new. The Ferry is DOWNTOWN ONLY. So 100% completely ignore that advice. Also, don’t be afraid to try some NY food from a street vendor. About 20 years ago, they really got serious and while a license was always required, they didn’t really enforce it. Now, all street vendors are licensed by the city, it’s illegal to run a cart without one. So enjoy a sausage and peppers hero, or a hot dog, or some hot chestnuts or a pretzel, you will not get sick, but I do agree, go to people who specialize in one or two things. Don’t eat from a menu like he showed you above unless it’s a food cart, especially when it comes to Asian, Middle Eastern or Mexican food. New Yorkers are more than willing to help you he is right. But he also said we are not friendly. That’s a huge misconception. We are just in a rush. So don’t mistake brusqueness with being “unfriendly.” We are extremely friendly because we need each other. But we are also very wary because there are a lot of schemers out there. So, once we have decided you are a tourist and need our help and not going to rob us, we are going to help you if we can. If you don’t like the price and size of your hotel room, stay in Queens. It’s minutes away from midtown Manhattan in Long Island City and much cheaper. A quick subway or bus ride to Manhattan from Queensboro Plaza and you’re there. I should know, I grew up there. 😊

There is one fast food joint on the Lower East that if you want to use the bathroom you need to get a token but you have to order something to eat or drink first before you get the token. McDonald's I think it is located on Delancey street.

Nobody in New York has ever seen the sites unless it was a school field trip or they went with a tourist friend. And the public bathrooms are great, if you, like George Kaztanza, know where to go. Mainly, go to any hotel.

One of my favorite memories of New York was when I was visiting with some friends and we were standing on a corner looking at a map and trying to figure out where we were. A local man, who clearly had somewhere he needed to be, saw us and overheard where we were trying to get to. Without slowing down, but with a friendly smile, he pointed in the direction we should go and told us to walk about two blocks that way. Changed my perception of New Yorkers for good, in a very positive way. :)

As a New Yorker, born & Raised, I can confirm all of this... especially #3 and #10. 1. Make sure you have a Metro Card out BEFORE you get into the station ready to swipe. 2. Don’t walk in the bike lanes no matter now pretty they are, you could get hit. No one’s expecting you there.

I lived off of the street vendor food for years and still think nothing about buying my lunch from a Halal vendor. The food is tasty, inexpensive, hot and quick. If the vendor looks really questionable, go to a different one but don't avoid them. Pretty much all New Yorks think nothing of grabbing a gyro in a pita or a hot dog from a vendor.

Most of the time, they’re expired and you just lost money, and if they’re legit, you’ll spend most of your time in traffic not moving. 3: When waiting for a crosswalk, don’t stand to close to the curb, many times, impatient assholes or fire trucks jump the curb and it’s easy to get hit

genius11433 As someone from NJ who visits NYC fairly often... don’t bring your car to the city unless you want to pay tons of money for parking AND get caught up in traffic. Public transit in the Tri-State area is garbage when compared to Europe and Asia but it works and the subway network is extensive.

Very nice and accurate review. But one thing about the NY pizza , most tourists have no clue and I'm hoping that you yourself didn't fall for it , but MOST Manhattan pizza is GARBAGE . If you truly want Authenic NY pizza from family owned establishments that have been around for generations , you have to go into the outer boroughs . venture into Brooklyn , (and I don't mean Williamsburg, THATS NOT BROOKLYN. Williamsburg is simply for wannabes that can't afford Manhattan ) real Brooklyn is Bensonhurst , BayRidge , Midwood , Canarsie. If you want , the best pizza you ever had in your life , go to DiFara's in Midwood Brooklyn . If you happen to be in Queens , go to Rosa's in Maspeth. If in the Bronx , go to Patricia's in Morris Park. The problem with Manhattan pizza , is there is a pizzeria on every corner , and they are all jockeying for customers , and all paying ridiculous rents. They use the crappiest ingredients , and it's mostly just trash. Last year at a pizzeria near the WTC , I actually gave my slice back to the guy behind the counter because it was so bad. The tourists inside actually thought it wSs good lol. They were clueless. Sorry , I'm a bit of a pizza snob. We take our pizza seriously here

Pizza for me is like underwear. YOU are the only one can taste it when you eat it. I was in Rome last year and will be again in 3 weeks, pizza in Roma can be good or JUST MEH (there is no such a thing call bad pizza) and I don't even trust reviewers in Yelp anymore. As of NYC pizza, my suggestion would be look at the people making it. If pizza is NOT their native food, I just walk to the other pizza store. Now it can be racialist if you take it the wrong way. My point is if I want authentic Ethiopian cuisine, I don't go the the Russians who is cooking it behind the counter. If I want a good Polish dinner, I certainty would not go to the Chinese who is making it. Now these are just CRAZY hypothetical scenarios. Look at those people making the pizza, do they really eat it themselves? Grab a hot dog, kabob, or curry chicken over yellow rice from the street carts. Just delicious and especially, FAST~!

Very,very practical advice.Thanks!

Just wanted to say I found this Wolters World because I'm going to visit Italy soon and I watched his DONTS of Italy - but as a lifelong New Yorker, I watched this video out of curiosity and I'm floored at how accurate this was. Every tourist visiting NY for the first time should watch this, its essential.

Hi! I love your videos and have found them to be very helpful. I’d like to add two suggestions that are very important etiquette in NY, both having to do with respecting personal space. The first is don’t wear a backpack on both shoulders on the subway/bus if it’s crowded-take it down to one shoulder if you can hold it close to your side, or hold it down in your front. This is so you don’t bash it into people who are trying to stand behind you, especially with something that is often sat on dirty floors. The second is common courtesy, but tourists seem to overlook it: please don’t cut ahead of or push up and crowd people in lines. You may likely get scolded, and it makes it unpleasant for everyone when people are impatient or don’t give a little respect for others’ personal space. I spent some time in San Francisco and unfortunately, these inconsiderate behaviors were a daily occurrence I was surprised to have to live with. In a city with a population the scale of NY’s, people need to respect and look out for each other so things can run smoothly for everyone. Thanks!

I'm visiting America this October for the very first time. Seeing Boston and New York, so your videos are really helpful man!

Some tips from a life long NYer: If you're looking for Houston Street, in New York it's pronounced "Howe-ston" not "Hyoo-ston". If you ask a NYer for "Hyoo-ston" Street, you will get back some funny looks. This is important because Houston Street is a main artery in a popular tourist area, as a matter of fact the dividing line between Greenwich Village and Soho. More for European tourists, especially from countries like England, Holland, Germany, Northern Europe: if you come in the summer, be prepared for the weather. It gets hot in NY, hotter than any major European city by 20 degrees at least. As a matter of fact, in talking with European tourists I've met, this is the most common comment I get. From late June to late August, the temperature will often be 90F (around 35 C) with 90 percent humidity. Be prepared for this. Have at least an idea of NY geography. Look at a couple of maps before setting out on an adventure. Things are spread out in the city, so at least have a general idea of where things are. I've had people stop me in lower Manhattan and ask how to get to the National Tennis Center. The NTC is in Flushing, Queens, which might as well be in a different city. I knew where it was and generally how to get there, but certainly couldn't give good directions because I don't know the name of the roads or highways to take getting there. If you're looking for something in Queens, at least find your way to Queens first, then ask someone. That don't block the sidewalk stuff is true, but sidewalks still get blocked. NYers can be real assholes, including me, but usually won't be if you're not an asshole first. Remember, if you're a tourist, you're just there playing around, and people who are actually working don't have patience for people who get in their way just playing around. You're happy & having fun while we're working and miserable, so don't expect us to be jolly if you're being an asshole and getting in our way. Also remember this when asking for directions: most of the time when a stranger tries to stop us to ask for something, they're asking for a handout and we'll just brush them off, so if you want to ask directions, at least look or act like you're not asking for money. If you get brushed off, don't assume the person doing the brushing off is a rude asshole. They might have mistaken your motive.

One thing I tell visitors so they get the full ramification of the sidewalk thing (because you get the "why cantcha just walk around us?"): Imagine you're back in your car-central city and you're trying to just get home. Then someone decides to stop their car in the middle of the highway. Now you're in a mess and you may not make it to your kid's recital/soccer game/important family event. People in the northeast who rely on commuter trains and there are 10,000 other people who want the empty spot on the same train. We don't have trains every 10 minutes 24/7. You miss one and it may mean waiting another hour for the next. Little Timmy's game over, sorry you missed it. THAT'S why New Yorkers get crabby sometimes!

I disagree with a couple of things. First of all, the hot dog vendors on the street are the best, and if you take the express train instead of the local, no big deal.

Tim L I think all he is saying is that you are rolling the dice more with a street vendor. Is he practicing good sanitation all day long? Are the dairy and meat ingredients staying cold (if they are supposed to be) so as not to grow bacteria?

It's not like his reputation is going to be harmed by your negative review on TripAdvisor.

Good sanitation is a foreign concept in New York.

As others have said: don't form conversation groups on the sidewalks and don't walk three or four abreast: you are blocking everyone and it's rude. Also don't stop at the base of subway station stairs and escalators: people are right behind you , moving fast and you could be at the bottom of a jam pile really quickly. All true for any big city, but especially NYC!

I swear I had to swipe it 3 or 4 times before it would allow me in. You soon get use to it but that can be annoying. They need an Oyster card touch and go system like they do in London ASAP. But a part from that I love NYC.

As a New Yorker trust me, we absolutely LOATHE our outdated system.

Bocchetti I heard they are updating the metro card soon, I think they're working with the company that made the Oyster card to finally bring contactless to the subway system in NYC... So perhaps you won't be suffering for too long lol

vibeuk2003, not a disagreement but rather an add on. NYC Metro Card is cheaper than London and Paris. Just a reminder, I paid more for Metro in London, and Paris than in NYC. One good thing NYC should learn is the contactless card, this is where London and Paris excel.

I hate it too. The turnstyle took 10 bucks from me once when I was trying to swipe -_-

Really enjoy your video! Thank you!:)

Great video!! Thank you

In my head before even clicking the video, I was thinking "Don't stop in the middle of the sidewalk!"

I definitely agree about the fact that New Yorrkers in general are helpful friendly people, but they also don't mess around or put up with nonsense. To generalize. Also in addition to not stopping in the middle of the sidewalk, don't stop at the bottom of the subway stair or escalator. It's a busy city! Step to the side or the flood of people will be coming down on you. Finally, enjoy the diversity and the food and the culture - it really is one of the world's greatest cities, and the people are a significant reason why that is the case. It might be faster paced than you might be used to, but enjoy it!

Also, I as a New Yorker love helping people if I can, but if you stop in the middle in the street or walk very slow (unless your the elderly) I will get very irritated and will start acting like a jerk cuz I need to be places, we don’t have all day!!!!

I live in New York but still watching this for fun 😂😂

Very helpful thank you!

YES THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MENTIONING THE SIDEWALK THING!! IT PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH!!Besides that, I just wanted to say that New Yorkers will help you. We make a lot of tourist jokes here in NYC, but in all seriousness we will be willing to help. The problem is we all have that isolated attitude in the sense that you would never catch a New Yorker waving or saying hi to people we pass by on the street. The most you would get is a nod, so the city seems very unwelcoming, but in reality everyone is open to help, as long as you ask.

My expeirence is don't make eyeconact with street sales people and don't look up. Pickpockets are all over the place in certain areas and I've had friends get robbed.

The cops tend to stick to high traffic areas such as Times Square and other tourist areas on foot.

If you have half a brain and keep your shit in your front pockets you're not gonna get pickpocketed.

I like your vlogs you are very upbeat and positive !

Thanks Mario Bitali, you’re the best

7:33 The only thing I 100% disagree with you is about #12 ("Don't eat from Street Vendors"). We live in NY and my daughter and I simply LOVE Chicken Over Rice, which is one of the most common 'dishes' to get from street vendors. We get them all the time from different places and never got sick. EVER.

Street vendor hot dogs aka "Dirty Waters" are one of the staples of NYC culture and if you don't try them at least once you're missing out.

I think I agree. I never got sick, but I know ppl who have. But it is a part of NYC culture, so it's cheap and still not the worst thing to have.

I think he meant the hot dog vendors. They will overcharge for a hotdog and you'll end up paying about 7-10 dollars for a hotdog and soda

I wouldn't stand in the middle of a street in any city to photograph. Some more subway advice: stand away from the platform. The train won't come any sooner if you stand along the edge or keep looking into the tunnel. Keep your wallet in front pocket, knapsack or bag close to you. Unfortunately, subway crime is a reality. Not rampant, but it does happen. And if you want really good pizza, and I mean the best - you've got to go to the family owned, authentic Italian and Greek pizzerias. Most are in the outer boroughs, where ethnic neighborhoods still thrive. Those are the places where people really know good pizza. Take it from me, I'm a New Yorker, and here we are raised on pizza. Not Pizza Hut or Domino's.

I went to Brooklyn years ago and i had very good N.Y. pizza. I live in Florida and i hate to see them advertise real N.Y. pizza. What a joke! The flour the pizza is made from in Florida is treated for the tropical climate and it's definitely not the same taste as real N. Y. Pizza.

Thanks for the info, it helps alot and you are so positive ! I am coming to NY this August with my daughter who will study in Parsons.

Love New York!!! Met some friendly locals, ate some awesome food and did some shopping in Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan (didn’t get to go to Staten Island😔). Locals are always more than happy to let you know the best places to eat and shop.
