Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
1.
Do not walk three people across. Two is the limit. The streets are filled with
tourists, locals, and cultural acts. When you stop in the middle of the road to
take a picture, you're disrupting the flow of walking traffic. To avoid being
called out by a local, respect people's limited space.
2.
If a mascot or character (such as the Naked Cowboy) walks up to you and
your group, you do NOT have to take a picture with them. If you do, they
will ask for money.
3.
Hold tight to your phone/camera. In the busy streets, it's easy to get bumped
into, and even easier to drop them.
4.
Do not stand in the busy streets of New York City to take photos. The cabs
and people both have places to go, and with the traffic, it makes them harder
to stop. Head to the red bleachers above the TKTS Booth in Times Sqaure
to take the best photo at a higher view.
