New York
NY is one huge and mercurial melting pot. Fashion forward, status conscious, food and culture epicentric, exasperating, exhilarating and never, ever out of vogue.
Tipping etiquette: in restaurants and cafes, adding 15-20% works, in bars add a dollar per drink. If the service really sucks don’t tip, but be prepared to explain yourself and/or run fast. Check that a service charge hasn’t been added before tipping (usually done for group bookings).
Autumn and spring are blissful and Christmas is magical; winter can be brutal and summer can be sweltering, but there is, in fact, no bad time to visit.
Whether you're a first-time visitor or repeat offender, these quintessentially New York experiences are evergreen crowd-pleasers.
