In honor of NYC...a top 10

This post is dedicated to Megan's step-dad, Bill. (We hope you enjoy it!)


Top 10 things we learned in NYC:

10. Only one person at a time can fit into a revolving door, although trying to fit more is fun!

9. A New York City Pass saves money and time in lines!

8. Even though lines can be short(er) because of the City Pass, it is still customary, acceptable, and welcome to moo like a cow at any time you grow impatient or just giddy.

7. Some cultures don't understand the idea of personal space or deem it a necessity. One must be prepared to breathe heavily on another's neck in order to fit in.

6. If you go to the street fair in Time's Square only walk one block because if you keep going it only repeats (all they sell is junk food, scarves, jewelry, and Reggae and Porn music from the 70s).

5. Restaurants located in museums have one unified purpose among them: to rip you off! The food is mediocre at best and more expensive than nachos and water at a baseball game.

4. The subway and bus system aren't as hard to navigate as you think they are. Save money and just use them!

3. The subway is really, really hot (really!)...

2. Audio tours are the worst inventions ever and should be banned immediately. If you are an audio tour lover you should learn to be aware of your surroundings while meandering and be prepared to step away from the painting, etc. you are looking at so others can see it too. That five minute explanation about Constantine's head is probably not worth listening to anyway.

1. 18% gratuity on meals is expected and even included for your convenience. Extra gratuity (i.e. tipping) is welcome.
