:About how to tip
1. American service workers make their living by tipping. According to local custom, if it is a fast food, there is no one to serve you, you get your own food and clean up after yourself, then you do not need to spend. The principle of tipping is that if someone serves you, you need to pay. In addition, if you stay in a hotel, you need to tip the hotel cleaning staff 1 dollar a day, just put it by the bed. If you hail a cab on the road, you need to tip the driver and ground crew $5 per day each. Of course, I recommend using Uber or Lyft. you don't need to tip for this.

:How to go shopping
1.Relatively cheap places to shop in the United States are: shopping centers on the road from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Please watch the price and quality of the things you buy, and take care of yourself if you have any problems. There are Chinese stores in every place, guests can buy according to their needs and compare in different places before making a decision. There is no additional tax for shopping in Chinese stores. There is additional tax on shopping and it varies from state to state. In the U.S., there is about a 7% tax on shopping and eating at restaurants.
2. If this is your first time traveling and you don't want to join a tour or go self-help, you can recommend a customized tour. And be sure to book in advance because you can save a lot of money that way.
3. It is best to change some change in advance, or you can go to the convenience store to get 100 dollars, a little . Easy to be suspected of pretending. My friend went to HM to buy a pair of stockings, found her 99 dollars the clerk kept looking at her while counting the money. Mainly because my friend didn't know about the specials and it was only a cut.
:About food and drink
1. Want to taste Michelin three-star restaurant on the cheap, you can remember to make a reservation in the restaurant week. You can see the total menu in advance. On the official website, you can choose one of the two. In fact, when you arrive at the store, you will find that the dishes are different. If you have not eaten something similar before, or the word count is low, it is recommended to look up the dictionary in advance. Avocado, avocado, is common in Mexican restaurants, Peruvian restaurants, and Cuban restaurants, but they always put something in it that's a little bit slightly spicy. Personally, I think only JeanGeorges has the best flavor. It seems like it has mint added to it, and the texture is three-dimensional and layered. Pistachio, when you go for grème, this is usually the first thing you order.
2. $25 for lunch, not including tax and tip, and $38 for the evening. The difference is huge. Warren Buffett's steak at the Ebay auction lunch was fairly ordinary, but it seemed
:About transportation
1. Be familiar with the New York subway! This is a must, if you're on a short-term free trip. The New York subway costs $2.75 for a one-way ticket, regardless of distance. If you ride the subway more often, it is recommended to buy unlimited cards for a week for only $31. It's a good deal. You can ride as many times as you want, otherwise it's $2.75 per ride. And it takes practice to swipe your card fast and hard. Practice makes perfect.
2. Remember to download Google Maps, it's very useful. As for Baidu Maps. Ohhhh, in the center of the city going inward, in the uptown away from the city center. The lines change on weekends. Also, the NYC subway has express and slow trains. Slow trains are slow trains and express trains are express trains. The white circle on the map stops at both the express and slow lines, only the slow line stops at the black dot. There are stations where you have to exit the station and go across the street to transfer, and the notes on the map are white circles. Cabs are really expensive, which means my _silk_ can't afford them.
3. Take the bus****. If you have that metro card, put it in the machine at the public **** bus station and a ticket will be issued. Take that ticket and get on the bus, or take cash and pick it up at that machine instead of putting coins into the bus or giving them to the driver.
4. The subway in NYC stinks and is broken and crappy. Just get used to it. Also, don't look at people when you get on the subway. It's not very polite and don't talk loudly. It's so quiet in the subway.
5. In New York, you can run red lights in crosswalks. As long as there are no cars, you can even go through a red light and no one cares.
:Notes
1. When traveling, someone will take your picture, like at the Brooklyn Bridge, and show it to you and ask you if you are satisfied. You have to be satisfied, and 80% of the time you have to pay for the photo.
2. It's best to book tickets in advance to watch the NBA. Really great atmosphere. Let's all yell defense! All museums don't allow food, and neither does the theater NBA, but the hotdogs there are great. Bail check is pretty loose though, it's just a little flashlight from the uncle to check it out .
3. Arrangements for museums, a variety of museums in New York can be seen for a year, including Moma Friday 4:00-8:00 p.m. free of charge, sponsored by Uniqlo. Other options are donations, which cost about two dollars. It's $18 for a ticket, which is more expensive.
4. For Chinese food, go to Flushing, the bottom stop on the 7 train, which is a Chinese "colony.
5. Regarding safety, the Bronx is the most dangerous place. Of course it's fine during the day, but don't go there at night. Brooklyn is also a bit dangerous at night, but it depends on the specific area. Anyway, to summarize, go home early at night.
6. If you are traveling, you can also buy attraction packages, recommend NYC City Pass or Smart Destinations.
