NEW YORK CITY GUIDE 2024
NEW YORK CITY - 5 TOP THINGS TO KNOW
1/ NYC consists of 5 boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island
2/ I live in Brooklyn (3 years +) and frequent Manhattan and some parts of Queens. I also own a car and do many weekend trips upstate and New England (stay tuned for more these travel guides).
3/ How to get around NYC: trains ($2.90/ride, tap in and out with your phone with ApplePay or GooglePay), walking (the most efficient & fastest way to get around. If it's a 20-minute walk or you're 2 train stops away, you walk. Must wear comfortable shoes!), biking (CitiBike, regular or eBike), ride-sharing: Uber/Lyft, yellow taxis, buses, ferries (yes, you can take the ferry to go back and forth between Manhattan and Brooklyn or Queens, and it costs the same as a train ride)
