      New York natives have that distinctive accent! And each borough will have their own accents.
      Unlike San Francisco where locals do not have a distinctive "FWISCO" accent!

    The Empire State Building is great if you want a nice view of midtown, lower Manhattan, and even Staten Island (and parts of NJ). However, you can get the same view from One World Observatory for a lot cheaper and you will be indoors, so no worries about the wind. I do like both buildings however.

      I don't have any tips regarding hotels with reasonable rates (I'm not a travel agent and NYC is my backyard so I never have to stay in the hotels.) HOWEVER- Row NYC is a great modern, great priced hotel that boasts City Kitchen- a popular eatery in NYC. Check them out!! :)

    Thanks for the video! I relied on this for a recent trip with family. It was very helpful. I found New Yorkers to be guarded. We asked lots of questions, got lost on the subway several times and every person we approached to ask a question, they actually took a couple steps back like they were skeptical or something. We had a blast and it was definitely a culture shock coming from San Diego.

    I agree that New Yorker are nice when you ask for directions. It happened to me once in a train as i was not sure i was going, i just ask someone next to me and they goes out of their way that i got off the right station! The other time was when my friend was look for a certain place but was lost and we stop to ask this nice lady and she pointed us to the right way with great details. The third time was this AT&T store in Times Square who was very nice and helpful with our phone problem even though we end up not buying anything.

    i took a $10 cab ride from central Park to Times Square, and was pretty happy paying it. The subway is confusing for tourists. It's easy when you get the hang of it, but you won't do that in one visit, so its quite intimidating (no matter what locals say).
    Times Square idiot tried to sell me Comedy Club tix, but i passed when he said theres a two drink minimum (for 4 of us, no way dude). This guy followed, us harassing me and the kids for two blocks until i turned around and raised my fist to him.
    NO to Empire State Building, cramped, cold and expensive. I visited in 2002, then last week i visited the Top of the Rock, which was wayyyy better, indoor or outdoor viewing area, plenty of room to walk around ad no one telling us what to do...not to mention i had a great view of the Empire State Building!

    Entertainig video and some great advice. As a Brit, just returned from NYC, I agree with what you say. The only exception being that at this time of the year, the ESB was not crowded. No queue for tickets, straight through security in a trice and only one other couple in the express lift with us. Not a 'line', in US parlance, to be seen. We were able to spend as long as we wanted on the viewing platform, with always a place at the rail.
    I can imagine that at peak times it would be, as you say, like queing for a 2 min theme ride; all the tape barriers we passed bore testament to that. I just wouldn't want people who have always dreamed of a visit, being put off going out of season. Good advice about the subway - cheap, efficient and easy to navigate, also about the eateries and shopping, although Maceys were having a 75% sale on some items and they offer a further 10% to foreign tourists. Your city is great. Best wishes from the UK.

Rockafella did have a much better view tho. great city but too busy for someone that lives in a city with a population of 30,000 max. huge difference.

    I visited NY from England recently and I absolutely loved it. We pretty much did what you recommend. We quickly familiarised ourselves with the subway from the start and went off the beaten track where we found amazing restaurants and bars in the evening. I gotta confess though, that I was glad I went up the Empire State Building. We went up there quite late and the view was dazzling after sunset. Definitely something to do once! We also saved a tonne of money by eating at local delis. For breakfast we scored lucky as the street vendor around the corner from our hotel was popular with commuters and did great breakfast bagels. My only major regret was paying for a 4 star hotel. Next time we're doing a 3 star because there was no difference except price. For sight seeing the Statue of Liberty we took the Staten Island Ferry because it is free and you still get a good view of the statue. I walked so miles in NY but it's the way to travel! Ladies, don't bother packing your heels!

    True, the usual yellow cabs charge by the minute. However, that's why you hail down what's called a "gypsy cab". They're unmarked, but if you pay close attention you can usually spot'em. They're a solid black car, kinda look like a BMW, and their license plate is a taxicab yellow. They charge by the area/destination.

    Those tour guided buses are worth it sometimes because you can jump on and off them for 48 hours using them as transportation around the city plus the tour guides will tell you everything you need to know about each neighborhood. They are overpriced if you purchase them individually but I got mine included in a city pass which made it well worth it for 77 bucks.

    • @hluizpresents
      @hluizpresents  8 лет назад +1

      I also have to agree about Century21. I would only go there if I absolutely needed something on the cheap. Otherwise, its not worth the time and hassle. If I wanted to spend retail prices, I'd go to Macys, L&T or even Bloomies. I used to work on Wall St and Century21 was close, but there were tons of super awesome boutiques on the way to Century21 that you can get something unique rather than something that everyone else is wearing from Macy's.

      @@jumpman2346 Not really, not anymore. I would compare Century21 to something like Ross or TJ Maxx or Marshalls or similar discount stores. Its not that their items are bad, they're just lower quality things than you'd find in the branded stores, or even unique pieces you'd find in boutiques. But a lot of people go there saying "its this amazing name brand, and it says that its 80% off the listed price! I must have it!" When in fact you're paying the actual price on that branded item, but buying their lower quality pieces.

Hated the empire state and lady liberty's Ridiculous security ( that being said, it's for a good reason what with all this terror around) but it still wasn't enjoyable. i felt very processed. and the thing with the cabs Vs trains. very useful. never thought about it like that, and i'm very exited to do some exploring.

    • @hluizpresents
      @hluizpresents  7 лет назад +1

      I don't know enough about the Explorer Pass, but the NYC Pass has improved and you're getting MORE out of it more than ever. Just be sure you're applying for the right pass depending on where you want to go /see. For example , if you go to 2 attractions instead of 4 or 5, it may be cheaper just paying for those attractions separately. At the Empire State Building, you'll bypass a couple of lines out of like 700 (jajajaja Just Kidding) Enjoy NYC with your family!

      SuperDavestube Depends on what you want to do really and there are tons of one day passes (ny day pass, metro day pass, express day pass, etc.) so unless you can be more specific (or not covered in this video) I would do more research - again, depending on what you want to do...let me know.

      H. Luiz Presents... You're right, I meant the New York Pass, that you can buy for 1 o several days...it's advertised everywhere...we're going for the 1st time to NYC for a week, thought of buying the 5 day pass and go to as much as we can without it being too exhausting, is it the best option or are there better?...thanks 4 your help! :)

    • @hluizpresents
      @hluizpresents  9 лет назад +3

      I wouldn't get a pass- like this video illustrates, NYC is best seen on foot. Plan correctly, like a walking tour of downtown neighborhoods (Battery Park City, Tribeca, Financial District, SOHO, Little Italy, Chinatown) it will take all day and their all within walking distance from each-other) the next day, tackle midtown, eastside, westside, uptown, etc. YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE NYC!!

    Dear Mr H. Luiz,
    Pleaaase I need some advice. So I'll be in NYC for the first time in June. Yesterday together with a travel agent I booked a hotel, 'Paramount hotel' to be more specific right on Times square. I'm paying 1 574euros (1684.65$) for 7 nights. Today I made my research on the internet (videos, reviews) and I was honestly expecting better reviews for that price and the pictures look better than the videos of people reviewing it. So now I'm afraid I'm paying waaay too much for what it is (knowing I'm on a budget). I'm looking for alternatives, thought about Airbnb but I just don't know. I need advice
    Please read this comment and help me out!

    • @hluizpresents
      @hluizpresents  7 лет назад +1

      Christina Kalyss my advice would be to talk to your agent if you are unhappy and do your research before you book. As far as price, $240 per night for a hotel in Time Square is pretty inexpensive as some charge $399 and higher per night. You have about 5 months to do your own research but do so before you purchase. Good luck!

    • @burningisis
      @burningisis 7 лет назад +1

      Definitely listen to the reviews. If they're primarily negative, definitely see how the property handles those negative reviews. Do they offer to assist? Do they rant and accuse the reviewer of being a liar? See what the negative reviews are about! Are they saying "the place isnt clean, the place stole from me, the beds arent comfortable?" Or are they saying "the room is small, the staff werent bending over to kiss my backside". In NYC, rooms are MUCH smaller than people are usually accustomed to when on vacation. So if your research shows that the rooms are disgusting cesspools, definitely talk to your travel agent about booking something at a nicer property. AirBnb can be scary because often times the AirBNB is booking an entire apartment complex or condo and selling a hotel room in an apartment space which is illegal. Research will tell you if the AirBNB is a good one or if its a scam.

    • @hluizpresents
      @hluizpresents  8 лет назад +2

      One thing I would suggest is to not see a vid then advise others not to see it jajajaja. Seriously though, I am a NYer as well and I LOVE NY. This video is not designed for folks not to visit the greatest city in the world. It was made over 3 years ago to let people know what to expect and to provide other options here and I tried to do it in a comical way. That's all, no harm no fowl.

    • @hluizpresents
      @hluizpresents  9 лет назад +2

      Well, there's nothing bad about it, if you don't mind waiting hours on all those lines for about 5-10 minutes of the actual view time as this video demonstrated. There are other things to do to better occupy your valuable vacation time. I just don't want people going without knowing what it entails to see it. People definitely want to go see the Empire State Building, so by all means... 😉

    • @taniiaaahhh
      @taniiaaahhh 9 лет назад +1

      Yeah I completely get your point. I'm pretty sure if I got a New York pass I wouldn't have to really wait in line. I could just walk straight in. But I definitely see where your coming from.

    • @hluizpresents
      @hluizpresents  9 лет назад +1

      taniiaaahhh What I want folks to realize is that it's 5 different lines to wait in before you "get" to the top. With a New York Pass, you would still have to wait on lines for the Empire State Building. They (ESB) have their own, separate VIP MAIN DECK EXPRESS EXPERIENCE that you can purchase ($64). The NY Pass only gives you admission for the ESB, but you may bypass lines at other NY Pass attractions.
