The USA has a different tipping culture to Europe and most countries around the world – it’s discretionary, but very much expected. For service workers —restaurant and hotel staff, taxi drivers, tour guides, etc. —tips are an essential part of their earnings. Always aim to tip between 18 and 20%, or even more if the service was excellent. For purchases over the counter, like takeaway coffees, tipping isn’t necessary but will be warmly appreciated.

Haggling is uncommon. If you try to negotiate a lower price in a restaurant or shop, it’s likely you’ll be met with a bemused look and possibly be considered rude. Be aware that sales tax is usually not included in shop prices, so the price you pay is often higher than advertised.

The United States has a different tipping culture than Europe and most countries around the world. It’s discretionary, but very much expected. For service workers – restaurant and hotel staff, taxi drivers, tour guides, etc. – tips are an essential part of their earnings. Always aim to tip between 15 and 20%, or even more if the service was excellent. For purchases over the counter, like takeaway food or coffee, tipping isn’t necessary but will be warmly appreciated.

Haggling is uncommon in restaurants and shops, but not unheard of in certain venues like open-air markets or street vendors. Be aware that sales tax is not included in shop prices, so the price you pay is often higher than advertised.

New York City has four fairly distinct seasons: a hot summer and a cold winter, shouldered with a mild spring and autumn. Summers are hot and humid, with temperatures ranging from about 70°F to 95°F (21°C – 35°C) – just be aware that high humidity can make the “feels like” temperature much higher.

Winters vary in severity from year to year, but temperatures can dip to as low as 20°F (-6°C). Snowfall averages about 25 inches per winter, and severe snowstorms may occur.

Autumn (or fall) produces crisp temperatures, not to mention stunning fall foliage colors across the city. Spring also offers mild temperatures, as well as beautiful cherry blossoms. Rain is common throughout all seasons, so it’s a good idea to carry an umbrella year-round.

Safety & Security

With any large city, it’s important you follow some general rules. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, especially in crowded places. Check your pockets frequently. Don’t travel to secluded areas, and stay local. Don’t roam around the city alone at night.

Grocery stores can be found all over the city, and range from small to mid-size markets to full supermarkets. Because the majority of New Yorkers don’t have cars, it’s common to grocery shop frequently and buy fewer groceries at a time. The reason behind this is so they can be easily carried home without the use of a vehicle

High-quality, high-price: Small local chains such as the Amish Market, Citarella and Westside Market offer high-end groceries and prepared foods at prices to match. Other gourmet purveyors include specialty stores like Eataly and Zabar’s.

Mid-range: You’ll notice many small markets, known as “bodegas,” that sell a limited selection of groceries, snacks, drinks, conveniences, alcohol, coffee, and hot and cold deli foods like sandwiches. Beloved by locals, bodegas can be found close to your furnished apartment in NYC and on nearly every block. Although their prices tend to be higher, many find the convenience to be worth paying a little extra. Other moderately priced options include Gristedes, Morton Williams, Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods.

Cheaper eats: You may have to travel to Brooklyn or Queens, but low-price grocery stores like ALDI, CTown and Key Food  can be found throughout the city.
