Here's a secret that made traversing NYC via train much easier - the subway travels in the direction of traffic! Say you want to go downtown from Times Square, turn towards the direction you want to go and get into the subway station on the right side of the road.

Another one are the ferries. You can get very nice views of Manhattan by taking the ferry north from Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. Tickets are just $4.

Regarding OMNY, great system, shame they haven't rolled it out to the AirTrain or LIRR. I would love to see more cooperation between the different transport agencies. One app for the LIRR, another for the ferries, and only MetroCard for AirTrain is a bit too much. Worst of all LIRR app doesn't even work with foreign cards so you have to get the ticket from the machines.

Jon, you and your colleagues have these videos down to a science which is why they're so fun to watch: the maximum amount of information conveyed in a fun & concise way. I wish they were around back when I was visiting NYC, but if n' when I do get back I'm going to do a deep dive of research through your channel for my favorite recommendations you've made. Oh, and more importantly congratulations to you & your wife on becoming parents!

How can a pizza shop in a church not be called Praise Pizza

Who remembers actual phone numbers anymore??? 🤣

I have been to Ny several times, and I keep watching you, you are always giving me new things to do. Some things I never heard of, I think it will take a lifetime to do it all 😁

Thank you, love the channel 👍🏼

We met with someone from the Big Apple Greeters and had the BEST time, 10/10 would recommend. Our greeter was bilingual, too, which was great since my mom doesn't speak much English. They don't take tips, but they do accept donations to keep the program going, which is cool.

LinkNYC and subway wifi had saved me so many times, very informative video Jon!

Love the videos! Congrats on the little bundle of joy. I'm moving to NYC in the near future so I'm always watching to learn as much as I can about The Big 🍎

[kathythompson]

Congratulations on the BABY! Thanks for more COOL stuff in NYC! Might you author your own NYC travel book??? And LinkNYC is unbelievable and fantastic!

Bendiciones to you and your family on the birth of your son! John's pizzeria reminds me of the Limelight when it was a club, now a mall.

People need to know that unlimited MetroCards impose a wait time before they can be used again on the same transit system (ie subway, bus). It's something like 20 minutes. So you cannot swipe in a group of people within seconds of each other. Please correct me if I am wrong.

[AlexDimitrov]

Love your content man! Been planning to take my mother on a retirement trip to NYC and all of those tips you provided I found really worthwhile, especially the free greeters and museums bit, which I had no clue about. Will most definitely "take advantage" of that! Greetings from Bulgaria :)

[Chieftracyhorse]

The baby is here? 👶🏻Who knew?! Congrats to you both. 🎉👏🏼

Having OMNY pay on just your contactless credit card 💳 is another option. That’s what I have and I love it. I prefer using my credit card to scan through the fare gates than holding a big phone that I constantly have to unlock.
