Getting around NYC...?

I suggest you can't miss New York City Tour on Tours4fun.com. You can take the chance to try good food in Chinatown, Manhattan before and after tour. That's what we did.

For breakfast, the average price is less than 5 dollars per person, and it is about $10 for dinner. We visited Statue of Liberty, Metropolitan Museum, Circle Line Cruise, SoHo Area Fifth Avenue, United Nations, Central Park, Lincoln Center, Time Square, 42nd Street, City Hall, Wall Street and Empire State Building.

This amazing trip is full of surprises!! We ended our one day tour with tasty food in Chinatown. Try spring rolls, dumplings, peaking duck or others for dinner; it depends on your own taste.

Native New Yorker

As a close-by New Yorker, i'd recommend paying for a MetroCard-it relatively is our bus and subway bypass. you need to purchase a a million day "relaxing bypass". Unforunately, they-new york city transit-would not sell relaxing passes for extra beneficial than a million day at a time, however the forged information is that in case you purchase one, you need to use all of it day with no need to spend extra to fill up it. i'd additionally recommend strongly getting bus, subway and directional maps so as which you would be able to get around; in spite of the fact that each and every person is prepared to be efficient, not each and every person is conscious their way around.

Follow what the others said, but remember the subway isn't as confusing as the map makes it look.
