Getting Around
City driving is an adventure, nay a
survival course. Take the subway, though
service changes can confuse. Buses go
slowly but provide views. Hundreds of
miles of cycling lanes have been added
and a new bike-share program was
initiated in June 2013.
Parking
Street signage can cause confusion.
Ticket-giving transit cops roam in
force. Ask a passerby for advice. Private
garages, in Manhattan especially, charge
extortionate rates. The further away from
the center of the city’s grid, the more likely
you are to find a spot. Some hotels provide
valet parking for $40 to $65 for 24hrs.
NEW YORK CITY
Loud, fast and pulsing with energy, New York City is symphonic, exhausting and
constantly reinventing itself. Fashion, theater, food, music, publishing and the arts all
thrive here and almost every country in the world has its own enclave somewhere in
the five boroughs.
