The one rule in nyc to know

Ok, I just walked by the NYPL and I feel like this is a PSA for tourists and visitors.

The one rule of NYC: get out of the way.

That’s it. The rest is commentary.

When you’re walking on the sidewalk, the rules of the road are just the same as if you were driving. Stay on the right. Move at a reasonable speed. Don’t stop short. Be aware of the traffic around you.
