Head to the Sidewalk’s Curb for Taking Pictures <\/strong><\/p>\n

Tourists in NYC catch a bad rap real quickly. They\u2019re known for stopping in the middle of the street to take pictures, look at a map, or do something to slow down the New Yorkers rushing to get from point a to point b. Here are a few tips to make those with flights to NYC<\/a><\/strong> a little more comfortable when it comes to roaming the streets.<\/p>\n

Tip #1:<\/strong> Stay on the right side of the sidewalk, yes, much like a car.\u00a0 You\u2019ll notice people are flowing a lot easier because there isn\u2019t anyone going against the stream.<\/p>\n

Tip #2:<\/strong> If you find yourself walking right behind someone, right on their heels, stop.\u00a0 If you\u2019re walking behind a New Yorker by chance, they won\u2019t like that and you\u2019re sure to be the recipient of a dirty look at least.\u00a0 Give them some breathing room.<\/p>\n

Tip#3:<\/strong> If your shoelaces become untied don\u2019t stop abruptly to bend down and tie them, someone is going to walk right into your ass. What you should do is head to the curb of the sidewalk and then bend down to tie them.\u00a0 This rule also goes for taking pictures.<\/p>\n

Tip #4:\u00a0<\/strong> Texting with your head down.\u00a0 This is a big no-no, you\u2019re in NYC! Even if someone sees you doing so, they\u2019re going to walk right into and blame you.\u00a0 Yes, I know, us New Yorkers are cruel people, but avoid all this and don\u2019t text with your head down in the middle of the sidewalk or crossing the street for that matter. New York cabbies are a hostile bunch.<\/p>\n

Tip #5:\u00a0<\/strong> Walking aimlessly, that\u2019s fine, but make sure you\u2019re not in a busy part of town. We\u2019ve got to get to work people! Sure you\u2019ll probably want to go to Times Square but keep it moving.<\/p>\n

So, follow these tips and you\u2019ll probably make a few friends with New Yorkers, tell\u2019em you followed the CheapOair guide for dummies!<\/p>\n
