  • New York in the winter can get very cold in the winter and the weather can really turn over night. Make sure you bring plenty of warm outdoors clothes as that is were you'll probably spend a lot of time.
    When I last went in feb 2006 we got 28inchs (72cm) of snow over night, the whole city came to a halt for 24hrs including the Airport so be careful.

    Warnings Or Dangers: NYC TAXATION
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • A Warning about New York City is that most of the prices don't included tax and shops will add it on to the price.
    Currenty Feb 2006 - NYC Sales tax is currently 8.375%.

    Some other costly taxes, are the NYC Hotel taxes, this will really increase your bill
    Hotel tax 5% a day + $2 . plus you have to pay Sales tax as well, not to mention Hotels now charge $1.50 to collect the tax per day. It all mounts up.

    Hotel bill
    Room rate $89 per night
    Hotel tax $4.45 + $2
    NYC Sales Tax $7.45 + $1.50 collection fee
    Total Tax $15.40
    Total Bill $104.40per night
