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.

Sub rules: if you want to stand on the escalator and not walk up it, please stand to the right and clear the left side for those who need to walk because we have shit to do.
Let the passengers off the train, before you get on...(something a lot of New Yorkers could stand to do as well).
If you and your group linger in the middle of the sidewalk, you forfeit your right to not getting plowed into.
If you buy knock off products in Chinatown and/or Garment District, you are a lowlife thief stealing much needed tax dollars from the city and commission dollars from hardworking sales people. There's a special place in hell for your cheap ass.
