TIPS FOR TRAVELERS
As you enjoy your time in the Big Apple, it is wise to stay
alert to your surroundings at all times. As with any large city,
keep your cash hidden, park in well-lit areas, keep personal
items locked in the trunk of your car out of sight, always lock
your car and RV, and when driving at night, stay on well-lit
roads. Before you head out be sure and study a city street map
so you know where you are going. As you tour the city, it is
best not to walk alone if at all possible.
If you find the idea of touring New York a little intimidating,
call the Big Apple Greeter's Program, 212- 669-2896. They will
try to match you with a resident with similar interest who will
be willing to show you around town. Also keep in mind when planning
your sight seeing schedule many of the museums are closed on
Mondays.
If you are planning on using the subway system, you might
want to write them in advance and get a layout map and instructions
so you can study it before you head out. Contact them at MTA-NEW
York City Transit, 718-330-1234. Keep in mind that New York subways
are not the safest in the world and be extra careful if you use
them. It is best not to ride the subway outside of Manhattan,
never ride alone, and don't ride between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00
a.m. When picking a car to get on, head for one with people on
it, not an empty one. Also be extra protective of your wallet
and purse as crowded subway platforms are a favorite haunt of
pick pockets.
If you are planning on depending on cabs to get you around,
make sure you take the complete address of where you want to
go and stick a little extra patience in your pocket. Some of
the cab drivers you will run into will speak and understand limited
English so communicating where you want to go is not always easy.
Traveling with little fur babies? In an emergency, call A
House Call Service, 349 E 49th St., 212-838-2569; and the Animal
Emergency Clinic, 240 E 80th St., 212-988-1000. If you are staying
in the Newburgh area, you'll find vets at the Flannery Animal
Hospital, 789 Little Britian Rd, New Windsor, 845-565-7387; Middlehope
Veterinary Hospital, 5349 Rt 9W, Newburgh, 845-562-7861; and
Newburgh Veterinary Hospital, 1716 Rt 300, 845-564-2660.
If you are planning on going to several of New York's major
sites check out City
Pass. They sell a booklet that saves you both money and time.
