    1. Bringing your car. Your car doesn’t belong anywhere near New York City, especially Manhattan. You probably won’t be able to use it while you’re in the city anyway. Parking in NYC is extremely expensive.
    2. Not having a plan to get from the airport to your hotel. Taxis are expensive. There are other, cheaper options, and there are booths at the airports to help you get where you’re going, but do some research before you leave and you can find less expensive more appealing options like shuttles that will take you to the door of your hotel.
    3. Underestimating time requirements. You may look at Central Park and say “Oh, the Museum of Natural History, the Metropolitan Museum and the Guggenheim are right next to it, and look, Madison Avenue is just a block away!” Bad news. Each of the museums can take a full day all by themselves. Be realistic about how much you can get done in a day.
    4. Avoiding the subway. It’s the best way to get around, if a little complicated. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
    5. Ignoring the boroughs. Coney Island in Brooklyn. DUMBO (an interesting Brooklyn neighbourhood). The Museum of the Moving Image in Queens. The Bronx Zoo. There is lots to see and do in Manhattan, but it’s not the whole city. Things in the boroughs tend to be cheaper too, like eating and shopping.
    6. Not going to the bathroom when you see one. Trust me. Go before you leave your hotel. Museum bathrooms are excellent. New Yorkers laugh about male/female bathrooms because in some restaurants there’s just one.
    7. Not planning. Do your homework before going out. That includes eating. There are lots of great, affordable places to eat in New York, but none of them are near Times Square. There are good Italian places outside of Little Italy that are less likely to be crowded, and the same goes for good Chinese places outside of Chinatown.
    8. Standing on the sidewalk. Move along or get out of the way. In many busy areas of the city you either go with the flow or move to the side – you don’t stop to take pictures or to talk because you can back up pedestrian traffic in all directions.
    9. Not exploring. There are great places outside the traditional shopping districts. I’m particularly fond of Union Square at Broadway & 14th Street which boasts two bookstores and a comic store. Get curious.
    10. Being afraid. When I say “Harlem”, “the Lower East Side” or “Hell’s Kitchen” images may leap into your mind, but they don’t match the current reality. There are worthwhile places to visit in all of these areas.
