Tips for the newcomers (from www.ny.com)
- Avoid empty subway cars, stick with people or ride in the conductor's car (usually the middle car of the train).
- Never display large amounts of cash out in the open.
- Finding a Bathroom: If you have to go to the bathroom, try a Barnes & Nobles, or a Starbuck's Coffee. Both usually have reasonably clean bathrooms, but your mileage may vary. At Starbuck's you'll need to ask for a key, maybe even buy something.
- Don't keep your wallet in the back pocket of your pants or in a backpack. Moving the wallet to the front pocket of your pants will reduce your chance of having it stolen.
- In every other city in the USA you are allowed to make a right turn on a red light after a full stop. However, in New York City this is illegal, unless otherwise noted by a traffic sign.
