Rule #1: When you’re walking down/up the sidewalk keep to the right. Why is it a rule and who made it up? I don’t know but I always (when I can) adhere to it. Keep the foot traffic moving.
Rule #2: Your group of 2+ should not block the entire sidewalk so you can chat it up. No one wants to do the slow walk behind you and the loudmouths you affiliate with.
Rule #3: MOVE! When you’re on your cell phone doing God-knows-what, move; Simple. Stopping dead in your tracks is a surefire way to get pushed.
Rule #4: Do not block the subway doors. I’m guilty of blocking the doors on a crowded train sometimes. Please, move in so the rest of us can crowd onto the disgusting smelling train with you.
Rule #5: Stay to the right on the escalator. This is exactly the sidewalk rule. Stay to the right so others who want to pass can do so on the left.
Rule #6: Don’t stop to take photos. I know NYC is a massive tourist attraction but don’t do it. Getting pushed out of the way isn’t the way you want to remember your trip/vacation.
These are just a few rules that I could quickly think of. Any suggestions? If so leave it in the comments!
This needs to be handed to all tourists. Well come NYorkers have forgotten the damn rules as well.
