Consejos para la ciudad
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
Getting around
Trains are the easiest way to get around. Subway and bus commuters can unlock unlimited trips using OMNY after 12 taps within a week, as the MTA rolls out its new fare cap Monday. After riders pay 12 fares with OMNY between Mondays and Sundays starting on Feb. 28, all remaining taps during that timeframe are free, under the authority's new program. Late hours - Past 8pm, or weekends the trains run slow. If you feel lost, just take an Uber. Maybe better than waiting longer periods of time.
Formas de ahorrar
Ways to save on food
Eating out can be expensive - pack a few sandwiches, put them in a backpack with some water bought locally and enjoy the city. In Manhattan everything is pricey.
