2. Taxi!
Do you know where you are going? Have you been to New York before? If not public transportation and getting around can be terrifying. I've got a few tip as and tricks to help you get around. Whether you are looking for a taxi, bus, or subway you will need to have some idea of where you are actually going.
a. Uber, despite recent scandal, is my FAVORITE choice for being picked up. They offer regular taxis, black cars, and SUVs. They even have promos that can get you $20 off your first ride. Uber works through an app on your phone. The app allows you to arrange a pick up and it gives you an estimate on how much the ride will cost. It connects to your debit/credit card or paypal account so that you don't have to worry about carrying cash or taking your stuff out your purse. Uber has always had a fast response time for me and you get the name and a photo of your driver before they get to you.
b. HopStop. This app is genius. It's gps for the public transit system in New York. It is easy to follow and accurate. Even the travel times are correct. I don't live in New York and u only visit about once a year but I keep this app on my phone at all times. HopStop is your best travel friend.
These are my favs for transportation in New York. I keep these two apps available to get around the city and they work. Whenever I can I try to buddy up with people going in my direction, especially late at night. Safety is always a priority. It's going to be an amazing week and I want to live to tell about it. Ladies 2 days left!!! Who's excited!
