I’ve being watching your videos for months now as NYC is my dream holiday. Your videos have helped me build a perfect itinerary to NYC but I think there’s so much more tourist would to like to know when travelling to NYC that no one on YouTube has covered and I think you’d get great response from a few of my suggestions, such as:

1) Best Airport to land
2) Famous movie locations in NYC from the Lotte palace(Gossip girl) to the ghost busters station to home alone scenes to Breakfast at Tiffany’s to the friend’s apartment
3) Wollman ice rink during winter and summer
4) Famous celebrity’s restaurant and bakeries like Carlos Bakery from Cake boss
5)Fun activities to do like go karts or mini golf
6)For some reason no one speak about Woodbury commons yet everyone I speak to back in South Africa tells me it’s one of the best shopping places to get good deal(Would be nice to see a guide on it)
7) Best hotels to stay ranging for different budgets
8) Simple trick in NYC, like how to get a SIM card and how to book a Broadway show etc

I would love to see a video with some of these suggestions, keep up the great work

These petty cabs are a total waste. Last November. I saw a tourist being harassed by a petty cabs in front of Plaza Hotel.
The tourist told the petty cab to stop harassing her.

Saw one of these pedi-cabs wreck in NYC when we were there last week. Not sure who hit who but a pedestrian, a motorcycle and pedi-cab collided, cab turned over. Amazingly, no one appeared to be injured!

[yddubbud]

only seen tourists riding this scam. if they want to see the park, just walk it like everybody else

Man, this is an east Asia guide for tourists lol NYC is becoming like third world country haha

[joeyr]

Dude I literally saw someone getting aggressively hassled two nights ago because the guy wanted 200+ dollars and the tourists were like that is ridiculous. They ended up paying the guy after an hour of arguing and almost fighting

[conner_nahbz]

I know there are Broadway theaters that are banning pedicabs from the front of their shows. I know Six has done it and I think there might be others too.

[whiskeydark]

No one in NYC uses these things. Use uber or lyft

[nancyl]

Those loud speakers from pedicabs are also annoying

[AshHanks-nlbn]

Yeah & I'd pay it. My advice to those kind of individuals (I've met a few on my travels, but not many) is dont chance your arm with me mate, I bite.

[NYricanMinded]

You get hit by a cab; you're dead.

[brendanlynch]

If I could count the amount of times I see drunk tourist riding these late at night l couldn’t because I can’t count that high.

[bigdaddydiesel]

I went back in 2015. They called me a racist for not wanting to ride

[michelefisher]

And the nut stands. I gave him a 20 he gave me change for 5. Hold on to your money until he gives you the nuts and change

The Pedi cabs are not scams. They are legitimate businesses run by hard working people, primarily immigrants. Yes, the price needs to be negotiated. A person is on a bike, in all weather carrying 2-3 people (~600 lbs).
Yes the price is to be negotiated, because it depends how many people the driver is pulling.
