Conselho para os viajantes
Viajar com crianças
Bring a babyseat for the taxi ride, or book one in advance
Please bear in mind when traveling with an infant. By law taxis cannot travel with a baby without a carseat. Either bring your own carseat or book a taxi that has carseats. Legends Taxis in Brooklyn (1 888 534 3637) can provide taxi pick up with carseats
Como economizar
Public transport is the cheapest and quickest way to ride.
To get around the city the best idea is to get a Metrocard, click the Value option at the machine and that will give you a set amount to add to the card. You can travel the buses and the Subway with this.
Reserve antes de ir
Broadway Shows and Concerts
Always a good idea to book before you come as productions can sell out quickly well in advance.

When ordering Pizza, order by the slice.
Ordering a whole Pizza will mean you eating Pizza for the next couple of days - they are huge. Try ordering a few slices and choosing a few different combinations.
