Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Like residents of every U.S. city, New Yorkers don't have a predominant color in their wardrobe, thus, the advice of wearing black to blend in doesn't have any validation.
The only New Yorkers who wear black daily are people who work in certain jobs. Unless you want to appear as employees of department stores, hair salons, trendy restaurants, investment or model agencies, don't bother buying black clothing for your trip.
NYC has 18 million habitants and a few hundreds ethnicities, most people do not wear black daily. The typical New Yorker wears color and style of the season, or of last season, or of a season few years ago. This is a city with very high acceptance of taste and lifestyle, no one cares what anyone wears.
If you want to wear black, then wear it, but don’t think you would need it or it would help you blend in. If you are seen carrying a camera, wearing a fanny pack, consulting a guide book, or not knowing the streets and the area, then it doesn’t matter what you wear, does it?

DON'T spend your money at Serindipity!!!! It is not for a family on a budget. The service is horrible and,staff is very rude! You have to spend at least $8.50...PER PERSON!! Do not spend all day waiting to eat here because it is not worth it! | Rourky Wed Oct 1, 2008 16:30 UTC
I agree about the staff it's ridiculous (or just stupid) that people who rely on tips would behave in such a manner. The food in gereral was only average but the desserts were really good it's just unfortunate that the service didn't match up! | jo104 Tue Mar 4, 2008 09:11 UTC
I really enjoyed your NYC tips very informative, London is trying to improve its skyline with new type buildings. Our statue of Peter Pan in Hyde Park was revealed at night so kids would think it arrived there by magic so interesting with the bronze bull | emilesc Mon Oct 8, 2007 19:32 UTC
Love your no-nonsense tip on the Carnegie Deli! |
