Lol @ the small talk one. You can literally be on the bus or subway and have amazing conversations with people you'll never see again. New Yorkers are fucking amazing.
Sterling Ross Believe it or not, there's a thing called not being rude. Most of the people I know will respond, but won't continue the conversation because they don't enjoy it.
14. never show your green in public sometimes a hobo will follow you and ask for money. 15. use Google maps app don't ask for directions because some New Yorkers will ask for money afterwards or get annoyed a tourist is slowing them down from their destination. 16. don't stare at the homeless and stay in well lit areas with people around, taking the shortcut may get you cut. 17. lastly go see a show in Manhattan because rising talent started off there like Chris Angel, Madonna, & even Lady Gaga performed at open mic nights back in the day. (born and raised in NYC) I live in Tampa now and recommend channelside at downtown Tampa and tradewinds at St Pete Beach 👍
Buford Pusser You don't really think i was serious about a subway train to Staten Island, do you? I was only joking. Anybody in their right mind knows it's impossible for them to build a subway to Staten Island, unless of course, they built a tunnel under water. It was only a joke.
HinaHina That's all boroughs, Manhattan has projects in lower, mid and upper Manhattan, Queens, BK and Staten Island aren't any different. I have been to all boroughs and have family all over N.Y. I was born in Staten Island and lived in Bronx 20+ years.
As a New Yorker I can definitely say that you shouldn't stop on the middle of the sidewalk! You have no idea how many times I've had to stop for tourists
I don't live in New York but in another city and I can relate so well. I hate it when people do this! I think this is a very important unwritten rule for every big city..
Yeah even on Long Island don't stop in the middle! Stop on the freaking side... but here we don't always have side walks so we is it walk next to the curb
I honestly don’t understand why New Yorkers get a bad rep for not liking that. I mean I’m not from NYC and I honestly can’t stand it when someone stops in the middle of the road or walks extremely slow like that annoys the hell out of me.
#1 thing to remember as a New Yorker myself: don’t EVER stare at strangers on the street, especially on the subway. People will think you’re trying to intimidated.
1:24 what that British dude said is not true we do not avoid time square. 0:37 and a empty subway car is a good thing cause usually there is no seats for anybody to sit
Um.. You don't really want to "explore" the outer boroughs because they're very vast and have just a few scattered attractions worth seeing.. Queens has the worlds fair thing, the Bronx has Yankee stadium and the zoo, Staten Island WILL HAVE the Ferris wheel (not completed yet), and Brooklyn has Coney Island (highly recommended) and Greenwood cemetery. Other than that, they're mostly residential. So don't just wonder in there unless you know exactly where you're going.
Queens, Brooklyn have WAY more tourist attractions lmao. Bronx is pretty to explore and the streets are calm. Staten Island is probably the most boring of all of them but they have so much to explore.
Janice Dickerson I live in New York and this guy has no idea what he’s talking about he just wants people to be scared and end up paying more money to go to fancy restaurants
I’m from manhattan nyc and I’ll just tell you if these tips are right 1. Nah 2. YUP 3. HELL YEA, that’s annoying 4. Oof, yes... I’m so familiar with this 5. I guess 6. I only care bout the Bronx... sorry 7. I totally recommend this 8. I didn’t know about this 9. It’s not that much money... you’ll be fine 10. Yea if you’re a tourist don’t try this 11. Do this as much as possible... it’s very true 12. 😂😂😂 oh god people these days... it’s true btw 13. I went there once on a school trip... it’s not worth it at all, especially in the summer with no water 🥵🥵🥵
I live in the Bronx lol 😂 The second one.. yup don’t get in an empty subway car. I once did cause I didn’t want to go where a lot of people were and I regret it There was a crackhead in there that wanted to fight me
Francine Scott excuse me, i've been to new york more than 10 times in the past 2 years trying to learn the streets due to the fact that i'm going to move in a few years. thank you
I live in New York City. Don’t stop walking and don’t look directly at anyone. Walk on. The right. Also smokers are EVERYWHERE. We really don’t care what you order at subway Also there’s more to New York than New York City I’m just saying. I can confirm most things on the list though actually.
I don't live in nyc but I've been there plenty of times and can I just say you should always value videos like this. Every time I go I catch the new yorker bug and immediately get annoyed by tourist agendas, so not only would you annoy locals some you'd also anger some tourists!
hilarious how the subway shots were of DC's metro trains. also you can't take the subway to staten island, trust me you just can't, not possible at all!! not sure about the small talk things either, we NYers can be quite the chatty bunch 95% of the time. just come here and enjoy but don't take up the whole sidewalk walking at a tortoise pace, you will get knocked down. other than that enjoy! : )
I live in Queens, one of the 5 boroughs, and I can tell you the most important one is to not walk across the street just because you see others doing it. You may step off the curb late and get hit by a car or cyclist that is going around the group you chose to follow. Look both ways every single time. Even on one-way streets. People on bikes ride opposite on one-way streets and could hit you.
1:54 is not the Bronx it's Chinatown seen from the Manhattan bridge. Staten Island ferry isn't a 15 min round trip. It's 25 mins to go one way and the. 25 back. The rappers always have real CDs. I buy them all the time to support upcoming artists and have never got a blank cd.
I have seen tourists especially Europeans end up in wrong neighborhood and look scared and their hotels are in less likable neighborhood, they must of read a pamphlet that says cheap hotel near by train and show the picture of the city which doesn't match where hotel is truly located. A tip if it sounds very cheap don't do it!. Don't look scared act with confidence look like you know where you are.
donepearce he absolutely cannot give better fuckin tips than me or any other born and bred new yorker. Even half of these "new yorkers" these days are transplants or yuppies with no accent or any other sign of our culture. Bunch of fakes trying to invade.
so glad you included the other boroughs of our beloved city! they often get ignored and it’s such a shame because each borough has something amazing to offer! i agree with most of the things on here and i’m from the bronx :) great vid!
I live in Boston,and when you take a train it only takes 3 hours. I recommend you not to take a car. And also New Yorkers are actually nice, have you even ever been to NYC?
WHY do you assume this is basically all you can do in NYC, he just pointing out the basic mistake tourist do, NYC has millions of other activities you can do, these are just the basic mistakes to not do.
Juliette Darmofalski so all you would do is go to subway, hail a taxi cab, ride a subway, and go to some museums okay. At least you can now do it the right way.
LOVE this video - I'd add: Don't get at rental car/drive ANYWHERE. Get a Metro card for a week or month, or however long you're staying. Don't stand over people on the subway reading the map. Don't wear your backpack on a crowded train if you're standing (fights happen). Use a handkerchief or napkin to hold on to the pole on the subway (GERMS). Natives usually say "the train", if you're asking for directions. Go to off spots to eat - diners, etc., in the boroughs. Go to museums/zoos/etc., during off hours or during the week (discounts and avoid crowds).
There is more to NYC than the 5 boroughs. For example, a less than 5 minutes subway ride (called the PATH train), from the World Trade Center to Exchange Place, the 1st stop in Jersey City, takes you to the spot where all those gorgeous postcard photos are shot. Go about an hour before sunset. As you face the Manhattan skyline, the sun will set behind you and turn the glass-faced towers into brilliant jewels that continue to glow after sunset, illuminated from within. KEEP THIS A SECRET - The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are not in New York City. They're not even in New York State. Both are in Jersey City, just a few feet offshore from the stunning Liberty State Park, with an esplanade that wraps around them. The SOL is so close to the shore that you have to look up to see the head and raised arm. Come enjoy but please don't tell anyone. The park is a quiet, peaceful place - well not on Sunday. But during the week it's almost empty. BTW - the "pay what you wish" museum fee is no more. The reason it used to be free for everyone was that the museum got a lot of financing from the city and local organizations. But too many tourists were paying too little or even nothing. So now, unless you have proof of NYC residency, you will be charged a fee. ATM - the video shows at $2.25 fee. HA-HA-HA - that is so out of date. Most ATM in Manhattan now charge $5 per transaction and limit the amount of withdrawal to make sure you get well screwed. Insider tip that may apply if you are an American and you bank at a Credit Union. Many CU's belong to an ATM network that treats your card as if you are at the CU itself. There is no fee for you - at the exact same ATM inside a 7/11 store or McDonalds, that will charge the next customer behind you the full $5 ripoff. The network is called CO-OP. There's a free app for most smartphones. It will show you a map of the nearest fee-free ATM on that CU network. Broadway shows are fantastic. Go see as many as you can. A last minute deal is "Rush Tickets.' Each theater has it's own policy. Just ask the (usually surly seeming) guy behind the window at the theater's box office. He's not surly. It's NY. Rush tix usually are offered early in the morning at which time they may also offer Standing Room tix at the back of the theater. You will see the same show for $15 or 25 bucks as someone who pays $500 or more for 5th row on the aisle. NEVER buy tix on street. If the seller offers a discount (and the fakes sure look real) you are being ripped off. Were they real, the box office would buy them back. If they are real and you are directed to pick them up at a location other than the theater box office, you are being overcharged. Best theater deals in NYC? Off-Broadway. Google that. It's where the best shows are created, nurtured and perfected before they move to a big house. It's usually the same show, the same actors in a smaller, more intimate setting. The show you see today for $35 to 60 bucks may cost you ten times that next year in a bigger theater. The term Off-Broadway does not refer to location. Some OB shows are right down the block, a few yards from the biggies. OB simply means (1) the theater has fewer than 500 seats and (2) it is not under contract with Actors Equity, the union for performers. ENJOY NYC (and please walk to the right. Do NOT stop unless you move over, out of the way.)
Pro tip- watch out for the bike lane. You'll get hit by a delivery boy or a Citi bike before you get hit by a car. I see this at least once or twice a month.
If you go to New York as a tourist, ITS OKAY! It's not a bad thing to be a tourist, do whatever you want, it's your stay, your money, your life, you came to have a great time so have fun and dont worry if you look like a touritst!
MIND NOVA as a New Yorker, I was just walking through Times Square while these tourists were filming and laughing at a homeless guy with what looked like a sick dog. It was absolutely disgusting
Don’t wear your backpack on the front, it’s a dead give away that you’re a tourist. Don’t stop at the top of the subway steps to figure out where you are or where your going, if you have to figure it out, step aside. Don’t walk next to each other on the side walk, walk in a line because that’s super annoying to everyone. Escalators have two lanes, right side for people standing, left side for people to pass. Basically if you are not moving, you’re in the way.
Chinatown is in multiple burrows, it depends which one since it's massive. I'd only go in there for some food, otherwise it's a waste of time unless you want to see alive crabs.
I'm from Queens and the Ferry to SI is really nice and free. I just find that there isn't much to do in Queens or anywhere else in the city just the tour bus in Manhattan.
ThugNigachu Nah dude.. if you have to stop, you gotta pull over. Just cause you stop, doesn't mean the people behind you wont. If you just randomly stopped in front of me, I would either move you, or move right through you.
Why am I watching this? I’m a New Yorker at heart. I’ve lived there my whole life and probably still will. I was speed walking down the streets before I was walking... figuratively, obviously.
Indeed, don't aimlessly tour Staten Island. The only reason I could think of is perhaps it provides a small sanctuary for bewildered midwestern tourists. After all, we're not as crowded, have a mall (not too fancy though), and have a significantly lower number of liberals per population.
honestly I don't know why people don't visit Queens New York because it is just really pretty there and the picture that you showed with the world and a bunch of fountains I literally Live 2 blocks away from there cuz I live in Queens New York and I love Manhattan I always go there but you know you should also go to different places instead of just Manhattan Times Square try to visit like the Bronx Zoo or queens or Brooklyn, Brooklyn is really good too I love Bronx and Staten Island
1:49 NO, Staten doesn't count. There are only three others to explore. But in all seriousness, if you're a tourist, there's really no reason to go to Staten Island. There's nothing to see there, crime is significantly higher. If you're a tourist, chances are you'll stand out and be easy prey for pickpocketers. Take the ferry to Staten Island, it's a nice ride (and free), but don't get off at Staten Island.
AGREED. STATEN ISLAND IS LAME AS FUCK. IT'S WHERE ALL THE RACISTS AND RETIRED FIRST RESPONDERS IN THE CITY GATHER TO GET AWAY FROM THE REST OF US WHILE VOTING FOR CRACKPOT NEOCONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES AND THREATENING TO SECEDE EVERY 5-10 YEARS WHEN THEY DEPEND ON THE REST OF THE CITY, ESPECIALLY MANHATTAN. THAT HUGE UGLY ASS FERRIS WHEEL ISN'T GOING TO MAKE IT ANY MORE ATTRACTIVE. I WISH THEY WOULD SECEDE SINCE THEY WANT TO SO BADLY. SELL THEM OFF TO JERSEY. THAT'S MORE THEIR SPEED.
Not me boy, my list includes Washington square park to see where I Am Legend was filmed, Bryant Park, Madison Square park to eat Shake Shack from the original Shake Shack, little Italy, Chinatown, top of the rock, Brooklyn, and Coney Island.
+Sentinel HDD Lol you just named a bunch of places in manhattan, then named brooklyn. Then you said coney island, which is in brooklyn. So yeah, you're just what xYesi Boox described.
One thing that EVERY tourist COULD do to see a lot of every borough for a minimal price is to take the subway to the end of every line that runs above ground. There are some that never run above ground, but the ones that do have some nice looking neighborhoods along the route. Chicago does as well.
Eric istooop Your argument don't make sense....So if I say I'm going to Manhattan and then say I'm going to Time Square?? Brooklyn is one thing and |Coney Island is a different thing even tho Coney Island is in Brooklyn.
I showed this too my friend and all he said was "I eat wherever the f#ck I want, if I want a subway sandwich I'm f#cking getting one" and I just started laughing so much 😂👌
As a local we do make small talk. Also Manhattan is nice good things to do there Brooklyn has a lot to do and that’s. Proboly the most livly borough Queens has some bad areas but it’s also got some cool things to do. There’s a good german restierant. The world fairgrounds and the iconic 7 train. Statin Island is meh It shouldn’t be on your list unless your gonna be in New York for a while it’s mostly just residential but it does have the ferry. Bronx avoid unless your taking Metro North or Amtrak but it’s got a lot of crime. Although I’ve been there a lot it doesn’t have much to offer for tourists. Over the river in Hoboken is a nice area to walk around and you can take a day trip on a train up to Albany or New Haven or down to Philadelphia.
Native NYer here. Not everything is completely accurate. Almost, but not quite. Mixtapes (CDs), aren't usually blank. They just suck, and the people peddling them are annoying. Times Square is a tourist trap, but New Yorkers do go there for places like AMC and Regal Theaters. As far as the deli thing, real NYers don't go to places like Katz's or 2nd Ave Deli on the regular. Most New Yorkers but their heroes in a regular deli or bodega. If it ain't Boar's Head, it ain't worth it. The taxi thing only applies to the Yellow Cabs, that are full of crooks who try to rip people off. They hate going to others boroughs like the Bronx, but are legally required to do so. As for gypsy cabs, you have to ask for the price up front, or they'll swindle you.
I'm from ny and if someone made small talk with me I would have no problem with that. New Yorkers aren't rude as much as it's a fast paced place. In that respect it's no different than any big city. Welcome Enjoy your stay!
Lol @ the small talk one. You can literally be on the bus or subway and have amazing conversations with people you'll never see again. New Yorkers are fucking amazing.
just because people will talk, doesn't mean they enjoy it.
If people don't enjoy talking then they generally won't talk.
Clorox Bleach Arent you international?
Sterling Ross Believe it or not, there's a thing called not being rude. Most of the people I know will respond, but won't continue the conversation because they don't enjoy it.
Sterling Ross trust me you normally wont. don't take this too hard but we have work to do and don't usually want to talk.
14. never show your green in public sometimes a hobo will follow you and ask for money.
15. use Google maps app don't ask for directions because some New Yorkers will ask for money afterwards or get annoyed a tourist is slowing them down from their destination.
16. don't stare at the homeless and stay in well lit areas with people around, taking the shortcut may get you cut.
17. lastly go see a show in Manhattan because rising talent started off there like Chris Angel, Madonna, & even Lady Gaga performed at open mic nights back in the day.
(born and raised in NYC) I live in Tampa now and recommend channelside at downtown Tampa and tradewinds at St Pete Beach 👍
+Baa 123 Stupid sjw
Conservatives beat on the homeless when they're down.
The google maps one is so true. I am a local of New York and I always use it instead of asking for directions.
Tampatec You definitely didnt live here....
Baa 123 lmaooooo bums is an actual classification of the homeless you fucking spoon
You forgot to say “ don’t drive a car in New York City” because traffic is evil. Upstate NY is fine it’s just the city
kevin Hill if you can drive in the city, you can drive anywhere.
I just skateboard don't pay for traveling
Parking is 100 bucks a day
simon caymer
Where do you live?? I live and drive in Brooklyn and traffic is a fucking mess
simon caymer so you live in the fancier residential neighborhood?
@ 1:50 ...................
DON'T take the subway to Staten Island...........you'll drown..............
LOL! Now i wonder why you would drown if you took the subway to Staten Island? The Ferry would be faster anyhow i think.
Richard Turner
There IS NO subway to Staten Island.........(8^)
There may be an above ground train ON IT, but there is no train TO IT.
Buford Pusser You don't really think i was serious about a subway train to Staten Island, do you? I was only joking. Anybody in their right mind knows it's impossible for them to build a subway to Staten Island, unless of course, they built a tunnel under water. It was only a joke.
Richard Turner
Some people that watch this video might think there is one. I was correcting them, not you.
(8^) (8^) (8^) Love to the wife and kids.
Thanks
Also go see a broadway show in nyc, no matter what it is, just do it!! They’re amazing!!
AnAwkwardPotato yeah, I like that one
Yes,the Rockettes is probably my favorite show on Manhattan!
Lion King and Hamilton.
CakePopSlimesNY wicked is my favorite musical that I’ve ever seen on Broadway it takes that number one spot
I saw Aladdin and it was good.
also when in NYC, walk on the RIGHT side of the sidewalk!!!
OMG yes.
no sidewalks aren't a road
We walk on right side of sidewalk in Finland.
eetu53 i love Finland!!!
They might as well be in NYC
As a New Yorker though, be careful with the Bronx if you don't know exactly where you're going. Good and bad parts are literally adjacent.
HinaHina living in the bronx, i know what you mean. I knoe my way to school and home, but some people get robbed or get kidnapped
HinaHina That's all boroughs, Manhattan has projects in lower, mid and upper Manhattan, Queens, BK and Staten Island aren't any different. I have been to all boroughs and have family all over N.Y. I was born in Staten Island and lived in Bronx 20+ years.
Decided to watch this because I live in New York 😂
Danirella SHINee same and also yay for shinee 😍
Danirella SHINee same
Danirella SHINee same
Same
Danirella SHINee to see if it's correct 😂
As a New Yorker I can definitely say that you shouldn't stop on the middle of the sidewalk! You have no idea how many times I've had to stop for tourists
I don't know who you are, I don't know what you want, but I will find you and stop right in front of you.
Alejandra Lopez Right!! that happens to me everyday for school
I don't live in New York but in another city and I can relate so well. I hate it when people do this! I think this is a very important unwritten rule for every big city..
IKR
Yeah even on Long Island don't stop in the middle! Stop on the freaking side... but here we don't always have side walks so we is it walk next to the curb
Why is a British guy giving NYC tips?
Most immigrants but tourists coming from Europe are in New York City but also Los Angeles and Miami
+Sincerely Tracie lol I know but the majority of european new yorkers are Italians and irishes
no it's not
+Andreyes Paladines its true but there's other whites but the Hispanic and Asian community will still grow in NYC but Los Angeles as well
That's exactly what I thought to 😂
Don't get in the way 😆
Be sure to take the subway to Staten Island!!! It’s a must.
Yea pretty much New york in a nutshell
Ray dreamer the way he said that was mad cringy😂
I honestly don’t understand why New Yorkers get a bad rep for not liking that. I mean I’m not from NYC and I honestly can’t stand it when someone stops in the middle of the road or walks extremely slow like that annoys the hell out of me.
Ray dreamer yes ikr
I'd just like to point out that the photo of the "Bronx" that they used is actually Chinatown in Manhattan.
And the 'subway' (3:23) was the Washington DC Metro!
thekidfromnyc ya ikr!!!
Nob Notch Most times when they do, it's cause they got on the wrong train or missed their exit driving!
😃Some is real😃
Bronx zoo,Botanical Gardens and Yankee stadium. Also Arthur Avenue.
“Take the subway to the Bronx” shows a picture of Chinatown in Manhattan taken from the Manhattan bridge
cavan miller right I'm glad i am not the only one who saw this .
cavan miller I know right
I also love how he recommends taking a subway to Staten island.
I’m crying I though I was the only one who noticed that 😂😂😂
Yea right?! That didn’t look like Bronx to me 🤣
#1 thing to remember as a New Yorker myself: don’t EVER stare at strangers on the street, especially on the subway. People will think you’re trying to intimidated.
Unless your a little kid
I live in New York why am I watching this

Deadass

Lucky you
To see if they're right🤔🤔
Why is a British guy telling us this.
Vitamin Joe it's NYC. Immigration City. If anything it makes sense.
XD
Vitamin Joe He's the guy from 442oons channel
Arnaldo Capo LoL, UK people are the least migrant nation
1:24 what that British dude said is not true we do not avoid time square. 0:37 and a empty subway car is a good thing cause usually there is no seats for anybody to sit
just watching this for fun. not even going to nyc
Emily R. A. Same lol
yass
Emily R. A. I don't even plan to go for a while
I live in NYC and I'm watching this😹
You can't handle it
as a new yorker i believe KATZ deli is a MUST
Mariah really? It's a tourist trap. Expensive and over rated! There are better delis like Mile End or Pastrami Queen.
it’s not overrated it’s placed where it’s deserved. Yes it’s pricey but you get what you pay for and it’s worth it
ITS WORTH IY!! EVERY CENT
Yes, I’m a New Yorker and I love Katz’s
A place can be both a tourist trap and awesome... Katz is both. But fair points about other delis. Love Pastrami Queen.
You forgot don't make a 9/11 joke
Saying Americans caused 9/11 is a very nondescript and rude comment, especially to people who lost someone then.
ColorAmber No it's not. I don't say the people who died are to blame. I say American government is to blame.
+Ιωάννα Φασούλη astalavista15 why are you blaming them? They did nothing the terrorists just attacked gosh
+Ιωάννα Φασούλη astalavista15 and u literally said that Americans caused 9/11 ... U stupid
What are your reasons?
1:20 is that a los santos map from gta v 😂😂
Haha yeh it could be a map of Liberty City XD
But it would have to say "Brocklyn" and "Kings" lol
Technically there is a kings district, it is the correct name for Brooklyn
it is the borough of Brooklyn and it is Kings county
I was legit just about to write that comment
it is OMG
I live in NY and this is so funny
Eric Wuestmann agree I do too BROOKLYN life
Yup. Also hello fellow New Yorker!
Same, only one thing was about the other boroughs, and a lot more people live in the others anyways
Rik Wuest sane!!!
You have a British narrator talking about the DC subway at 0:39 - add those to the list of things not to do in NY!
Timosha21 So no British people allowed LOL
You must remember that the British settlers are the ones who built up the Northeast in your neck of the woods. America used to be apart of Britain.
I live near DC true that looks like DC's metro system.
the subway doesnt go to staten island
Exactly
For tourists, avoid the north shore of Staten Island, it isn’t safe, I have experience
It does
Ivy Ivy no it doesn’t...
How can we trust you if you’re British lol
Rae-Rae 1434 but was he born and raised in new york no so... his video sucks
York is better than New York
RULE BRITANIA🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
These are dumb.....they don't make sense.....
I’m a New Yorker and I think this is pretty accurate
Everything he said is true. Everything.
Um.. You don't really want to "explore" the outer boroughs because they're very vast and have just a few scattered attractions worth seeing.. Queens has the worlds fair thing, the Bronx has Yankee stadium and the zoo, Staten Island WILL HAVE the Ferris wheel (not completed yet), and Brooklyn has Coney Island (highly recommended) and Greenwood cemetery. Other than that, they're mostly residential. So don't just wonder in there unless you know exactly where you're going.
Brooklyn only has Coney Island and Greenwood cemetery? LOL
Brooklyn also has the Barclays center lol huge tourist attraction
Queens, Brooklyn have WAY more tourist attractions lmao. Bronx is pretty to explore and the streets are calm. Staten Island is probably the most boring of all of them but they have so much to explore.
1:03 Sooooo not true. That's such a stereotype. I love small talk, and so do others.
Just don't stop someone who looks like they're in a rush. They're probably trying to get to work or something like that.
I hate it but there was a really nice man I met on my bday in NYC
well i live in new york and i hate small talk.
KawaiiKoffee06 your right
I walk my dog every day and I have conversations with people almost every day and night. People are nice.
This is bull. I was born in New York this all is crazy.
Janice Dickerson me too this guy is just so extra
saame. most of this stuff is so unnecessary
Janice Dickerson I live in New York and this guy has no idea what he’s talking about he just wants people to be scared and end up paying more money to go to fancy restaurants
He's right about restaurants and checking out other boroughs but yeah a lot of this ridiculous
Ayyy, what’s up my fellow New Yorkers
Why is a BRITISH guy telling me what to do in AMERICA?
OML
runningstorm920 he might live their fucker
Omg thank you
As someone who has lived and worked in NYC for 57 years - because he is correct on every point. And it's not America, It's New York City.
Incase the narrator gets too bias
as a new yorker, this is wrong do whatever you want, we dont care
Ana Rodriguez that's sorta true.
Yeah if we cared...we would do something
Ofcourse ya'll don't care, America is like your home. I'm not American, but I know it, and the police are like your parents.
exactly
Not Funny lmaoo watt
i live in new york. i just wanna see if these things are true 😂

I once did cause I didn’t want to go where a lot of people were and I regret it
There was a crackhead in there that wanted to fight me
I live in NYC he is 100% correct
yea you are right!
He probably learned it by being a tourist.
Francine Scott excuse me, i've been to new york more than 10 times in the past 2 years trying to learn the streets due to the fact that i'm going to move in a few years. thank you

I live in New York City. Don’t stop walking and don’t look directly at anyone. Walk on. The right. Also smokers are EVERYWHERE.
We really don’t care what you order at subway
Also there’s more to New York than New York City I’m just saying.
I can confirm most things on the list though actually.
Yeah I get second hand smoke when I walk in the city xD
1:18 map of Los Santos XD

Eh, you're prolly right. hahaha

He's on point with suggestions though.
The museum pay as you wish rule changed for most of them! Make sure to check the website of the museum and plan ahead!
I don't live in nyc but I've been there plenty of times and can I just say you should always value videos like this. Every time I go I catch the new yorker bug and immediately get annoyed by tourist agendas, so not only would you annoy locals some you'd also anger some tourists!
hilarious how the subway shots were of DC's metro trains. also you can't take the subway to staten island, trust me you just can't, not possible at all!! not sure about the small talk things either, we NYers can be quite the chatty bunch 95% of the time. just come here and enjoy but don't take up the whole sidewalk walking at a tortoise pace, you will get knocked down. other than that enjoy! : )
you need a ferry to get to staten
Ari Luv they have a bus that goes over the Verrazano bridge, takes you deep in the borough.
kismetnyc you can buy you have to go from Jersey City. Which you should visit if you're in NYC too. I live in Jersey City.
I'm from Chicago and that stopping in the middle of the sidewalk to take a picture pisses me off to.
0:52 heard of pokemon go?
Yes we have! Heard of geocaching? ruclips.net/video/YYgAGolzFc0/видео.html

Shut up Keemstar
+JusticeWild "the chat?" Do you mean the the comments?
Wtf there's no chat....It's a comment section.
says The Bronx but shows a pic of Chinatown😂
I live in Queens, one of the 5 boroughs, and I can tell you the most important one is to not walk across the street just because you see others doing it. You may step off the curb late and get hit by a car or cyclist that is going around the group you chose to follow. Look both ways every single time. Even on one-way streets. People on bikes ride opposite on one-way streets and could hit you.
1:54 is not the Bronx it's Chinatown seen from the Manhattan bridge. Staten Island ferry isn't a 15 min round trip. It's 25 mins to go one way and the. 25 back. The rappers always have real CDs. I buy them all the time to support upcoming artists and have never got a blank cd.
he said 50 minute round trip. 25+25=50
I have seen tourists especially Europeans end up in wrong neighborhood and look scared and their hotels are in less likable neighborhood, they must of read a pamphlet that says cheap hotel near by train and show the picture of the city which doesn't match where hotel is truly located. A tip if it sounds very cheap don't do it!. Don't look scared act with confidence look like you know where you are.

Does this guy even live in New York? He acts like he's an expert.
Agree!!!
donepearce oh shut the fuck up.. You don't know shit about us compared to those that live and breathe it.
donepearce the fact that you're saying a tourist knows more about new york than a fuckin native is ridiculous.
donepearce he absolutely cannot give better fuckin tips than me or any other born and bred new yorker. Even half of these "new yorkers" these days are transplants or yuppies with no accent or any other sign of our culture. Bunch of fakes trying to invade.
donepearce you're the failure and I do indeed resent you. But it ain't sad. You're the dipshit talkin about outsiders will know more than locals
so glad you included the other boroughs of our beloved city! they often get ignored and it’s such a shame because each borough has something amazing to offer! i agree with most of the things on here and i’m from the bronx :) great vid!
I love visiting other cities but New York will always be my home

Why not?
Tugsuu Gsg Because, the brave terrorists die...
I think they already know that...
I live in Boston,and when you take a train it only takes 3 hours. I recommend you not to take a car. And also New Yorkers are actually nice, have you even ever been to NYC?
yeah but there are a lot of not-so-nice new yorkers. family Italian restaurant owners are chatty though!
so basically don't do anything in new York ok
No, don't do anything a typical tourist would do.
Juliette Darmofalski tourists will get bullied
WHY do you assume this is basically all you can do in NYC, he just pointing out the basic mistake tourist do, NYC has millions of other activities you can do, these are just the basic mistakes to not do.
Juliette Darmofalski so all you would do is go to subway, hail a taxi cab, ride a subway, and go to some museums okay. At least you can now do it the right way.
Juliette Darmofalski exactly, we are trying to work.
the bronx is the hood. Never go there alone
What's wrong with the Bronx? It's not that bad.
its the hood
"The hood" cringe
+Scott Velez Yeah only some parts! Like some parts of Harlem are bad.
so? i live in the bronx. in my neighborhood its not the hood.
LOVE this video - I'd add: Don't get at rental car/drive ANYWHERE. Get a Metro card for a week or month, or however long you're staying. Don't stand over people on the subway reading the map. Don't wear your backpack on a crowded train if you're standing (fights happen). Use a handkerchief or napkin to hold on to the pole on the subway (GERMS). Natives usually say "the train", if you're asking for directions. Go to off spots to eat - diners, etc., in the boroughs. Go to museums/zoos/etc., during off hours or during the week (discounts and avoid crowds).
I live in NYC and honestly everyone is really friendly.

There is more to NYC than the 5 boroughs. For example, a less than 5 minutes subway ride (called the PATH train), from the World Trade Center to Exchange Place, the 1st stop in Jersey City, takes you to the spot where all those gorgeous postcard photos are shot. Go about an hour before sunset. As you face the Manhattan skyline, the sun will set behind you and turn the glass-faced towers into brilliant jewels that continue to glow after sunset, illuminated from within.
KEEP THIS A SECRET - The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are not in New York City. They're not even in New York State. Both are in Jersey City, just a few feet offshore from the stunning Liberty State Park, with an esplanade that wraps around them. The SOL is so close to the shore that you have to look up to see the head and raised arm. Come enjoy but please don't tell anyone. The park is a quiet, peaceful place - well not on Sunday. But during the week it's almost empty.
BTW - the "pay what you wish" museum fee is no more. The reason it used to be free for everyone was that the museum got a lot of financing from the city and local organizations. But too many tourists were paying too little or even nothing. So now, unless you have proof of NYC residency, you will be charged a fee.
ATM - the video shows at $2.25 fee. HA-HA-HA - that is so out of date. Most ATM in Manhattan now charge $5 per transaction and limit the amount of withdrawal to make sure you get well screwed.
Insider tip that may apply if you are an American and you bank at a Credit Union. Many CU's belong to an ATM network that treats your card as if you are at the CU itself. There is no fee for you - at the exact same ATM inside a 7/11 store or McDonalds, that will charge the next customer behind you the full $5 ripoff. The network is called CO-OP. There's a free app for most smartphones. It will show you a map of the nearest fee-free ATM on that CU network.
Broadway shows are fantastic. Go see as many as you can. A last minute deal is "Rush Tickets.' Each theater has it's own policy. Just ask the (usually surly seeming) guy behind the window at the theater's box office. He's not surly. It's NY. Rush tix usually are offered early in the morning at which time they may also offer Standing Room tix at the back of the theater. You will see the same show for $15 or 25 bucks as someone who pays $500 or more for 5th row on the aisle.
NEVER buy tix on street. If the seller offers a discount (and the fakes sure look real) you are being ripped off. Were they real, the box office would buy them back. If they are real and you are directed to pick them up at a location other than the theater box office, you are being overcharged.
Best theater deals in NYC? Off-Broadway. Google that. It's where the best shows are created, nurtured and perfected before they move to a big house. It's usually the same show, the same actors in a smaller, more intimate setting. The show you see today for $35 to 60 bucks may cost you ten times that next year in a bigger theater.
The term Off-Broadway does not refer to location. Some OB shows are right down the block, a few yards from the biggies. OB simply means (1) the theater has fewer than 500 seats and (2) it is not under contract with Actors Equity, the union for performers.
ENJOY NYC (and please walk to the right. Do NOT stop unless you move over, out of the way.)
oh ok so you are telling us to avoid everything that a normal tourist would do. :I
exactlyyyy! new yorkers hate tourists, it's very well known
I live in London and tourists piss me off. Everyone hates tourists, even tourists.
sagwashine Not really, he is telling us NOT to do THESE tourist actions, there are millions of other things you can do in NYC.
LemonComputer no we don't like tourists because they are annoying and block us when we are tying to get to work, home, or do something important
***** but we depend more on various corprate offices
Pro tip- watch out for the bike lane. You'll get hit by a delivery boy or a Citi bike before you get hit by a car. I see this at least once or twice a month.
STAY AWAY FROM THE BIKE LANE AT ALL COSTS
If you go to New York as a tourist, ITS OKAY! It's not a bad thing to be a tourist, do whatever you want, it's your stay, your money, your life, you came to have a great time so have fun and dont worry if you look like a touritst!
Number 1: Don’t film dead bodies like someone.
MIND NOVA as a New Yorker, I was just walking through Times Square while these tourists were filming and laughing at a homeless guy with what looked like a sick dog. It was absolutely disgusting
Don’t wear your backpack on the front, it’s a dead give away that you’re a tourist. Don’t stop at the top of the subway steps to figure out where you are or where your going, if you have to figure it out, step aside. Don’t walk next to each other on the side walk, walk in a line because that’s super annoying to everyone. Escalators have two lanes, right side for people standing, left side for people to pass. Basically if you are not moving, you’re in the way.
Some NYC underground subway stations smell like urine!
its all the drunk party people from 3-5am that morning.
Petey 

some? you mean all
bbury 1018, Few of stations, not all.
Just went to NYC and the people were very nice and I had a BLAST. Sung karaoke at tonic and got laid :)
Thomas Demer I'm happy for you.
So Chinatown is in the Bronx?^^
@Dead Rosezthere's a China town in Brooklyn too....
Chinatown is in multiple burrows, it depends which one since it's massive. I'd only go in there for some food, otherwise it's a waste of time unless you want to see alive crabs.
I all ready live in NYC so........FUCK YEA BIOTCH
Learn how to spell NYC idiot
thành nguyễn learn how to get a life.
they can't do that anymore
YUS NEW YORK!!!
Same!!!!
I live in SI, there is nothing here to do. Just stay in Manhattan
same 😭😭😭
LOL yeah. Im on SI for grad school and i often go to Manhattan to explore
I live in SI too.They are making the biggest roller coaster there
I'm from Queens and the Ferry to SI is really nice and free. I just find that there isn't much to do in Queens or anywhere else in the city just the tour bus in Manhattan.
***** we got a lot of history than most boroughs
I have been in:
Queens
Bronx
Manhattan
Staten Island
Brooklyn
(also it's in the order of time)
so...you've been to new york city..?
15. Not wearing timbs
What are timbs
Javi Ruiz the’re boots
Also don't wear a Red Sox hat during the baseball season
Nugget Incorporated Specially Boston cap .
Nugget Incorporated
YOLO!!!
Elvis Ines well same thing I hope you know that
And I learned wearing a Yankee cap, you either get a thumbs up or the bad finger. and can't predict ahead of time.
It's much more dangerous to wear a Yankees hat in Boston.
hello Arts! Great video sharing dear. You get to visit a lot of places. That's awesome
I don't understand Why you only have 3k subs you must have 1M because ur da best!!
Thanks a lot buddy! :D
Now he is actually 12,311
14k I think
dude its been 6 months ago ( 6 months ago he only got 3k )
Number 3. please don't stop we got places to be
-a New Yorker
kidflashgirl123 no one cares
??i do XD
everyone stops. You should be used to it and just side step or walk around them.
-Another New Yorker
Don't stop or else a woman literally tries to push you out of the way into oncoming traffic(i was 14)
-an upstate New Yorker
ThugNigachu Nah dude.. if you have to stop, you gotta pull over. Just cause you stop, doesn't mean the people behind you wont. If you just randomly stopped in front of me, I would either move you, or move right through you.
Why am I watching this? I’m a New Yorker at heart. I’ve lived there my whole life and probably still will. I was speed walking down the streets before I was walking... figuratively, obviously.
Yeah don't go to staten island
Indeed, don't aimlessly tour Staten Island. The only reason I could think of is perhaps it provides a small sanctuary for bewildered midwestern tourists. After all, we're not as crowded, have a mall (not too fancy though), and have a significantly lower number of liberals per population.
these are new York city tips, not new York tips. the city might as well be a different state because it's so different from the rest of new york
Yeah I live in Suffolk county, Long Island NY
thatmonkeyfaceguy it goes Long Island nyc and upstate
thatmonkeyfaceguy NYC is where the real new york is at..
Don’t any tourist plan to visit Harlem it’s the most slept on place
kevin Hill Harlem has changed a lot.
Enough Of Ivy Yes! I completely agree. I currently live in Harlem, it’s bustling, lively, and there’s things to do at every corner.
my nerdy pasty ass just went to the graffiti hall of fame yesterday and it was beautiful! love from ny
honestly I don't know why people don't visit Queens New York because it is just really pretty there and the picture that you showed with the world and a bunch of fountains I literally Live 2 blocks away from there cuz I live in Queens New York and I love Manhattan I always go there but you know you should also go to different places instead of just Manhattan Times Square try to visit like the Bronx Zoo or queens or Brooklyn, Brooklyn is really good too I love Bronx and Staten Island
Sophia Costas Queens has the best food.
from queens in nyc
"Take a train to Queens"
Me: Sorry bro, I heard Spiderman is in London now.
1:49 NO, Staten doesn't count. There are only three others to explore.
But in all seriousness, if you're a tourist, there's really no reason to go to Staten Island. There's nothing to see there, crime is significantly higher. If you're a tourist, chances are you'll stand out and be easy prey for pickpocketers. Take the ferry to Staten Island, it's a nice ride (and free), but don't get off at Staten Island.
simon caymer same it is so nice there
AGREED. STATEN ISLAND IS LAME AS FUCK. IT'S WHERE ALL THE RACISTS AND RETIRED FIRST RESPONDERS IN THE CITY GATHER TO GET AWAY FROM THE REST OF US WHILE VOTING FOR CRACKPOT NEOCONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES AND THREATENING TO SECEDE EVERY 5-10 YEARS WHEN THEY DEPEND ON THE REST OF THE CITY, ESPECIALLY MANHATTAN. THAT HUGE UGLY ASS FERRIS WHEEL ISN'T GOING TO MAKE IT ANY MORE ATTRACTIVE. I WISH THEY WOULD SECEDE SINCE THEY WANT TO SO BADLY. SELL THEM OFF TO JERSEY. THAT'S MORE THEIR SPEED.

I appreciate that most tourist just go to Manhattan and even barely know about the 5 boroughs
Not me boy, my list includes Washington square park to see where I Am Legend was filmed, Bryant Park, Madison Square park to eat Shake Shack from the original Shake Shack, little Italy, Chinatown, top of the rock, Brooklyn, and Coney Island.
+Sentinel HDD Lol you just named a bunch of places in manhattan, then named brooklyn. Then you said coney island, which is in brooklyn. So yeah, you're just what xYesi Boox described.
One thing that EVERY tourist COULD do to see a lot of every borough for a minimal price is to take the subway to the end of every line that runs above ground.
There are some that never run above ground, but the ones that do have some nice looking neighborhoods along the route.
Chicago does as well.
Eric istooop
Your argument don't make sense....So if I say I'm going to Manhattan and then say I'm going to Time Square?? Brooklyn is one thing and |Coney Island is a different thing even tho Coney Island is in Brooklyn.
I showed this too my friend and all he said was "I eat wherever the f#ck I want, if I want a subway sandwich I'm f#cking getting one" and I just started laughing so much 😂👌
Always take the ferry, I swear it's even better than going up close to see the statue
Aye Who's from Brooklyn?
baltimore
[GD] Aftermath We out here!
baltimore is better man
represent
brooklyn is the best deadass yea i live there
These tips are more for crowded places not the entire city
I feel so bad now, because I did, if not all, most of the things I wasn't supposed to do. But luckily, I never bought a I heart NY shirt.
Jason Yu good for you because as I am a New Yorker (born and raised) we find that shirt hilarious and a joke to us.
@@dismantled1911 lmao right
as a native new Yorker, the first one isn't true
Yeah they have good food at Subway but do try street food or good bagels, Delicattessens, Hot Dogs, or Pizza
As a local we do make small talk. Also Manhattan is nice good things to do there Brooklyn has a lot to do and that’s. Proboly the most livly borough Queens has some bad areas but it’s also got some cool things to do. There’s a good german restierant. The world fairgrounds and the iconic 7 train. Statin Island is meh It shouldn’t be on your list unless your gonna be in New York for a while it’s mostly just residential but it does have the ferry. Bronx avoid unless your taking Metro North or Amtrak but it’s got a lot of crime. Although I’ve been there a lot it doesn’t have much to offer for tourists. Over the river in Hoboken is a nice area to walk around and you can take a day trip on a train up to Albany or New Haven or down to Philadelphia.
Welp I live in New York.... but everyone only thinks of the city.... I have personally never been to NYC
What a shame... You should go!
But I live on Long Island but been there like 25 times since I was 1 or 2 and now I'm 11
Pickle Juice that's because everything anyone knows about ny is in nyc. You dont think of anything that isn't nyc when you think of ny.
Pickle Juice I live every close to the city and I think of other places in Ny
You should go, it’s cool. I live in Brooklyn and I go to Manhattan from time to time.
Native NYer here. Not everything is completely accurate. Almost, but not quite. Mixtapes (CDs), aren't usually blank. They just suck, and the people peddling them are annoying.
Times Square is a tourist trap, but New Yorkers do go there for places like AMC and Regal Theaters.
As far as the deli thing, real NYers don't go to places like Katz's or 2nd Ave Deli on the regular. Most New Yorkers but their heroes in a regular deli or bodega. If it ain't Boar's Head, it ain't worth it.
The taxi thing only applies to the Yellow Cabs, that are full of crooks who try to rip people off. They hate going to others boroughs like the Bronx, but are legally required to do so. As for gypsy cabs, you have to ask for the price up front, or they'll swindle you.
I'm from ny and if someone made small talk with me I would have no problem with that. New Yorkers aren't rude as much as it's a fast paced place. In that respect it's no different than any big city. Welcome Enjoy your stay!
14. don't call it the big apple
