    I think finding restrooms would make a great video by itself. It can be pretty tricky! I had no idea about that app either! If you're in Times Square and you need to go, go to the M&M store and trek up to the 3rd floor. They have restrooms up there. Most people don't even go up that far and stay ground level.

    As an ex-New Yorker (born & raised on Long Island, spent many years working in Manhattan before finally making my way out to the West Coast) I concur with this list. Great tips. Years later I still suggest people traveling into NYC to fly to JFK and take the Airtrain-Jamaica Station-Penn Station route instead of a Taxi or Uber.

    2 years ago i traveled to nyc for the first time. I went alone so people said me that the better option is a taxi. Even though i told all my friends and parents that i will take a taxi finally i took under my own the subway and was the greatest idea that i had. 7+1 dollar for the ride and i felt like a nyc neighbour just taking a ride.
    Highly recomended! Nice videos Jon. In a few weeks i will be there again with my sister and my mom and i will show you all the hacks and best place you show.

    One additional idea that stemmed from my 1st independent trip to NYC in 1981 is I investigated (without the internet) Broadway shows i wanted to see and I contacted the St. James theater when they were showing BARNUM and inquired about availability of orchestra level seats and they said that there was 1 seat left 3 rows from the stage center section and it was cheap. I immediately sent a self addressed stamped envelope with a money order to purchase the ticket. I wanted to see A CHORUS LINE at the Shubert theater and I went to the ticketron in California where I was traveling from and voila prior to arriving in NYC I had all my tickets for the shows I wanted to see. I bought about $30 worth of subway tokens (this was the good ole days). So I had always a supply of tokens with me (now this has been replaced by the metrocard). With this idea you are armed and are in less lines. I wanted to see 42nd Street at the Majestic theater but, this show was completely sold out. Oh' don't do what I did on this particular trip FORGETTING MY UMBRELLA everywhere. I was always buying new umbrellas.

    Hi mate. I’m loving your content and finding it extremely relevant. My family and I are looking to visit the US for four weeks and are wanting to spend at least one of those weeks in NYC.
    We are from Australia so for us it’s a huge thing for us to travel to America.
    What’s the bare minimum amount of time you would recommend spending in your city that would allow us time to see a good deal of attractions without getting bogged down?
    We are starting our holiday in LA and then onto Vegas which we will use as a hub to visit the Grand Canyon etc before perhaps heading to New Orleans, Miami and hen possibly driving up to NYC before dumping the car. No way am I driving in NYC!

    I *hated* taking the subway from JFK! It took forever to just to GET to the subway and I was so exhausted & tired, I fell asleep on the subway, so thank goodness no one wanted my stuff. 😂 Also, not fun to be crushed between people after a 3 hour ride in coach on a plane! All in all, it was like a 1.5 hour trip. I'll take a group van next time, which is how I got back to the airport on that trip! It was worth the extra $20.

  • @danpowers3775
    @danpowers3775 5 років тому +1

    another option of going to JFK is by bus, each person can use their own metrocards (same ones from subway) onboard the bus as free transfers because that one fare each person pays with each metrocard; it includes a subway ride + free bus transfer just by using that same metrocard on the bus, take the bus into JFK and you can then ride the Airtrain for free by avoiding Sutphin-Archer & Howard Beach, just make sure to leave early enough (the unlimited ride pass works in the subway & on buses; try to buy and start using the unlimited ride pass 6 days before going back to JFK, so that when going back, that'll be Day 7 of 7 which'll be the last day each person can use their unlimited ride pass).
    Take the Q10 bus from either the Kew Gardens-Union Turnpike station along the E/F subway line, or from Lefferts Blvd-Liberty Av at the Lefferts Blvd station along the A subway line (Lefferts branch); be sure to board the specific Q10 to JFK that displays *LIMITED* which makes limited stops. If people are starting from the Williamsburg/Bushwick section of Brooklyn along the L subway line, people can take the L train to New Lots Av/Van Sinderen to access the B15 bus to JFK; the bus stop to JFK is just 10 feet from the exit at New Lots/Van Sinderen. The Q10 *LIMITED* bus stop is directly across from the Lefferts Blvd-AirTrain Station, and the B15 drops-off right underneath the AirTrain. If flying with airlines that depart out of terminal 5 only, no AirTrain is required; stay on whichever bus you boarded, the last stop for the B15 & Q10/Q10 *LIMITED* within JFK goes right to terminal 5!
