New York City(NYC) is one of the top business travel destinations in the US. However, when you’re working in NYC, you’re most likely to have a packed schedule with little precious time to explore this amazing city.
Of course if there’s some free time available, it’s best to use the most of it to explore or enjoy the Big Apple. There's always something going on, somewhere, in the city. The trick for a business traveller who's in town for a just a few days, is to know what to do with their free time. There's just so much to pick from.
So if you’re in NYC for business, here’s some things you’ll need to look out for while you’re there.
GETTING AROUND
Traffic in New York can be terrible, so allow yourself plenty of time. Uber is available all over the city or you can easily hail one of the yellow cabs, but don’t be shocked if you spend most of your time held up in a jam. The subway is actually the fastest and most reliable way to get around, and is much more affordable than London, for instance.
