im a 25 yr old female from brisbane and in 3 weeks i depart on a US holiday. im going to be with a contiki tour group for 99% of the trip,but i do have 3 days prior to the start of the tour in NYC alone! im freaking out being in such a big,busy place by myself. anyone got any tips? i already figure i wont go out at night(unfortunately). thanks heaps for ur help.
also what is must-see/must-do in NY apart from the obvious liberty island, central park etc…also what denominations of money are quarters(25c i suppose) nickels and dimes??
ta much:)
Hello! NYC is a wonderful city! I’ve lived here 20 yrs and I love it!
I do understand your apprehension, since most folks only know the Apple from what they see in the news and movies, but it is not any different from any large city! As far as safety is concerned, simply exercise the same practice you’d use in any busy urban area, such as Sydney and Melbourne.
Now to your next question, what to do in the city… What isn’t in New York would be a shorter list!
In Queens you’ve got things like the Botanical gardens, the Museum of Science, Museum of the moving image. In Brooklyn, there’s the Brooklyn Zoo, Museum of Art, the boardwalk and more… Staten Island and the Bronx have many things to do and places to visit and of course Manhattan has more things to do than I could begin to list!
Our money is simple enough, the paper denominations you’ll most likely handle are:
$1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100. Coin denominations are:
Pennies (1 cent)
Nickels (5 cents)
Dimes (10 cents)
& Quarters (25 cents)
You might get the occasional $1 coin.
Once you arrive, I think you’ll find this city much friendlier than you might have expected!
I’d be happy to have an email correspondence to answer more specific questions!
