1. Buy a 7 day MTA Metrocard from any newstand for $31. With it you can take any subway or bus in the city. If you have a child under 112cm its free to travel. Even if you are only in NYC for a few days, you will save money.
2. Avoid Taxi's if you can possible help it.
In NYC they are very expensive.
3. If you can, walk as much as you can. It's tiring but it's hard to see all the sights of New York from a subway car.
4. Do not be afraid to ask for help. The majority of New Yorkers we spoke to were friendly and always happy to help. Be polite though, call men Sir and women Ma'am.
5. Take the free Staten Island Ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. It does not stop at Liberty Island but you do get a great view. Do this on a day with nice weather.
6. If you have small (under 122cm) dont bother trying to go up the Statue of Liberty. They can't go.
7. Avoid the queues at the Empire State building, Top of the Rock or 1 World Trade Centre by going early in the morning or around 4pm.
8. If you need a bathroom in a hurry in Central Park. Find a kids playground. There are restrooms.
9. Be careful, some items that are cheap outside the USA may be very expensive in New York. (Loaf of white bread $4)
10. Do not try to do everything in one day. New York takes time. Plan ahead and you will have a great trip.
