New York City Travel FAQs

Many tourists opt to stay in Manhattan while visiting New York City. It’s a smart choice for visitors because the borough boasts many iconic tourist attractions, such as Central Park and Central Park Zoo, Times Square, and Carnegie Hall. Manhattan also has many famous shops and restaurants tourists won’t want to miss. 

Yes, Times Square is definitely worth visiting, especially if it’s your first time. There’s something dazzling and magical about the flashing lights, the crush of people, and the concrete jungle landscape. Plus, Times Square often has interesting characters walking around that you will want to see and take pictures with. 

No. You are not legally obligated to tip in New York City. However, it is culturally expected for you to tip at restaurants, bars, and when you pay for a service (such as taxis, massages, valet parking, or having hotel porters carry your bags). It’s standard to tip 15–25%, based on the quality of service. 

The cheapest months to visit New York City are January, February, and March. These are also the coldest, most wintry months in New York City, which affects tourism. On the bright side, visiting during this time of the year will not only be cheaper but also a bit less crowded.
