- Do not stop or park your vehicle under an elevated railway line [railway bridge].
- Do not drive/walk through Times Square; the locals know the area better and try to stay away from the area between 42nd and 47th Streets and 6th and 8th Avenues.
- Don’t stare at people on the subway or they’ll startle you with a “What are you looking at?!” and you won’t even notice what you were actually looking at.
- I know you’re going to cross the street at the pedestrian crossing because you see everyone else doing it, but don’t do it while you’re talking to someone on your mobile phone.
- When you’re walking in the middle of the street and you see a car coming toward you, the worst thing you can do is hesitate and run back. If you have to, be confident and walk in a shorter, straight line between the sidewalks. The car saw you and expects you to drive around it while you run across to the other side of the street.
- I drive a Vespa [Scooter] and we come out of nowhere, so be careful not only with cars, but also with motorbikes and cyclists, especially the latter because even though we get fined and have our licenses revoked if we hit you, they’re not really regulated, so they run red lights and break traffic rules.
Welcome to The City and get ready to have a wonderful time
