Getting around the city

Traveling in the city is a breeze and there are numerous options, but the fare for those options is as varied as the shops on 5th Avenue. Obviously, taxi cabs are the easiest and most convenient way to travel. And, for the most part can be found around the clock except for those “rush hour” times right after work and right after the shows let out on Broadway. The downside is the expense. If you intend to travel via taxi you need to be prepared to carry cash and a lot of it! The subway is also an excellent mode of transportation. You’ll spend a whole lot less, but the view won’t be so great and you will expend some energy discerning your route while going up and down those stairs to get there. Make sure you include travel time in all of your plans, especially if children are involved. Taking your time and giving yourselves opportunities to grab a pretzel and a cup of coffee will keep everyone in a pleasant disposition for the day’s activities.
