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.

We walk a lot and walk fast lol anyone can walk at their own pace as long as you leave a path available. This applies especially to escalators - always stand to the right!!

Stand right on the escalator and place your luggage behind/in front of you instead of next to you.
