Comments on: How to Get Around New York City on the Cheap

on 2/21/2006 Lines tend to form at the turnstile, if you are left digging through your purse for your card, it is best to keep it some place accessible so you can pull it out and zip through.
But, not so accessible that it will fall out or is easily pick pocketed.

Put your wallet in your front pants pocket. It is a lot more difficult for a person to pickpocket you from the front.

on 11/22/2005 I live in Brooklyn, but I go to school in Atlanta. Being away from home I realize that I am from the best city in the world. We have the best transportation, the best places to visit, the best nightlife, the best music. Regardless of the stereotypes that are placed on us, everyone should visit New York.

on 11/22/2005 When people first come to New York City, many of them find the subway and subway-talk very confusing. New Yorkers think it is the easiest thing on earth, and we end up with the bad reputation of being cold and rude. The truth is, we're in a hurry. Sometimes we get annoyed with tourists asking us how to get to Times Square on the subway. If you are confused, definitely ask before getting on a random train. But ask either a hotel concierge or the worker in the turnstile booth, not a native New Yorker.
