Travel in New York City

It’s good to plan in advance which New York City Subway MetroCard to buy because stations are crowded and deciding which card is best on the spot can be a bit hectic. If you have a smartphone, you can download a free app which will make your day in NYC much more smooth.  Read our post on which NYC subway app is best. Anytime you are riding the subway be on the look-out for great musicians, buskers, and performers. Free Tours by Foot’s post about Where to find New York City Street Performers and Subway Music will lead you right to them!
