New York City Warning or Danger Tips by jglsongs

Being "city savvy" is still the rule of thumb here. New York City has become one of the SAFEST large cities in the world, but it's still home to 8 million people on a small island (and 8 million others who have easy access to it by bus, train, car and ferry), so basic statistics still say, not everyone you encounter will be your friend.

Some basic tips, especially for the subway:
-If you see an empty subway car, don't get in; if it's empty, there's a good reason it is.

-Flash your Rolex, Movado or Tag Heuer all you want in the restaurant, but turn it around on the subway so the band is on top and the watch face is on the bottom of your wrist.

-NEVER fall for the Metro Card swipe game- if you want a metro card for the subway, buy it in the machines or at the booth.

-And last but not least, make sure you realize that some subway lines run express. Visit www.mta.info for all the scoop on NYC public transportation.
