We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

One thing that shocked me was the Times Square is smaller than you think.
-
Walk down a street in Manhattan and you will have experienced every type of smell on the planet.
-
One thing that shocked me was the noise. So much noise. At all hours of the day and night. New York really is the city that never sleeps!
-
Always avoid an empty subway car, there's a reason it's empty...;)
-
2 things shocked me about NYC - #1 - the utterly awe inspiring view from One World Observatory. I was literally in tears the moment I stepped off the elavator. & #2 - the SPECTACULAR food! I took recommendations from locals and the wait staff at the hotel, and not once did I have a meal that was even close to "good". Everything was top-notch!
-
New Yorkers are some of the nicest and coolest people in the world. They patience with tourists is inspiring. Ever since my first visit, I have tried to show tourist that level of hospitality and patience in my city.
-
What impressed me is How diverse NYC is just wow,all kinds of walk.

I lived in NYC for 7 years, and you are right that you can do a lot of fun stuff and sightseeing for cheap. What you said about NYCers being nice and helpful is true. One thing you can do for cheap is take the Staten Island Ferry back and forth for the price of a subway ticket. It's like getting a nice cruise and you pass everything like lower Manhattan, Statue of Liberty, etc. Also they have a Star Bucks and snack counter there too. It's a nice 1-2 hour experience!! :) And don't forget the many types of street performers. Great thing about NYC is you can find inspiration anywhere as well as perspiration too. lol :)

I am a new yorker -- why in the hell are tourists on the subway during the morning rush hour ??? WTF.
-
Found myself nodding along to this list! Great job. The hotel prices! Dear God!!
-
Visit the Columbia University campus. It's beautiful and peaceful amid the NYC chaos. Visitors are allowed on campus, and there is a free tour. Hower, visitors won't be allowed to enter buildings.
-
3:28, the iToilet? George Costanza had that idea before anyone!
-
PSA: If you're in Midtown and need to use the bathroom... Just go to Macy's lower level bathroom. There are tons of stalls and super clean :) Just have fun getting through all the parfum salespeople
-
What shocked me about New York is how bright it was at night. Like I was shooooook 💖✨😭
-
Thank you for saying New Yorkers rock...because we do and we are usually helpful to tourists
-
I got a ad about New York City before this video!
-
As a New Yorker ,I tried to ignore Times Square. TOURIST, Go to the local places, Brooklyn,Queens ,etc

I'm from Argentina, visited for the first time with my boyfriend about a year ago, and the thing that most shocked both of us, mostly because nobody ever mentions it that we know of, is the particular smell (or maybe should I say "scent" because it's not bad) that the whole city has, but particularly Manhattan. Not the random smell, but the constant smell in the atmosphere. It's not a bad smell but it is unlike anything we've smelled before (we found we weren't able to describe it to people here). After showering a few times, my hair smelled like it, and I even sensed it on my hair and my clothes (that was washed while I was there) when I got off the plain back here.

On the no credit cards thing- basic thing to know is at mom & pop places, if you're going to spend less than $10, no credit card. A lot of places like that have signs saying $10 minimum for credit cards so as a general rule, less than $10= cash. Also should mention how extremely hot in the summer and cold in the winter it can be. I usually like to remind my European friends where they don't get such extreme temperatures to keep that in mind if they're going to visit New York.
-
Oh, also, people from New Jersey who visit NYC pretty often (like I do, every other week) can help too. A lot of us in northern Jersey work in New York. We know our way around. We are also usually less in a hurry because we are tourists too, but we visit often enough to give directions, tell you we're the nearest 15 Starbucks are, etc..
