Warnings Or Dangers: Subway cheaters
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • At Canal street subway station (Chinatown) I saw two girls standing close to the subway door and cheating the turists. How do they operate? I suppose that they have some device hidden in their pockets interfering with the frequency of the door. So when someone swipe the ticket and try to get through the door, they activate the device and block the door offering to helpless people to buy tickets from them. After that they deactivate the device and let you get through the door. I suppose that they choose Canal street because there is no cashier and subway employees. They target turists and people who like alike so if you go there be careful.

  • Be aware in Washington Square Park. Some drug dealers approached to us offering "some good stuff". It was early evening and we felt a little bit uncomfortable. Maybe it is nothing but stay away. Better safe than sorry!

     FYI, the Bronx is a borough (read: county) with over 1 million people, not a neighborhood.

     Observing drug dealers in Washington Square Park is a little like seeing nuns at the vatican. They probably aren't there to start any trouble. Just ignore them. If you want a nice park Union Sq Park at 14th or Manhattan park at 23rd street.

     Hi Snoopy Sue, glad you enjoyed New York. I think I learned a few things about my hometown from you. Cheers!
