Top 10 Do’s and Dont’s in NYC

By John | March 28, 2008

  1. Don’t eat at McDonalds when you are in NYC.
  2. Do eat at Smith and Wollensky’s Bar and Grill Side (Ask for George we played in a Rock Band in High School together).
  3. Don’t ask subway attendants any questions; they will just stare at you.
  4. Do say, “Hi” to people when walking down the street. After the initial shock, surprisingly, they typically react positively.
  5. Don’t ask a cab driver to take you anywhere that doesn’t have a numbers in the name.
  6. Do treat yourself to a Broadway play. Definitely Spamalot if you haven’t seen it yet.
  7. Don’t - If the voices of you mom’s “There are kids starving in Africa” are still ringing in your ears - order a Pastrami on Rye at the Carnege Deli.
  8. Do take a moment to pop into MoMA to take a peek at Van Gogh’s Stary Night.
  9. Don’t try and get out of someone’s way when walking into a crowd. The natives are experts at this stuff and they will navigate around you. If you move around to avoid them, you will throw off their rhythm and hell breaks loose.
  10. Do bring duct tape because things will break.
