The 7 is right across the street!
The train station should be hard to miss - just look out the window! The 7 train will serve as your access point for everything the city has to offer. Take it to Times Square for a New York tourist must-see, or one stop further to Hudson yards for pictures at the Vessel and to walk the high line on a sunny day. Once you get the hang of it, you鈥檒l quickly realize virtually all of New York is just a train transfer or two away!

Be on the lookout for museum discounts!
Many of the museums mentioned in the previous tip have special dates or times in which pricing is reduced, as well as discounts for students, seniors, and some even offer pay-what-you-wish pricing which allows for you to pay any price for entry. Be on the lookout to maximize your experiences without breaking the bank!

Getting on the subway with a tap
If you鈥檙e unfamiliar with getting around the city, it can be a little daunting to get a metrocard. If traveling with others, keep in mind that an unlimited metrocard will only allow one swipe every 15 minutes, so only one person can use it at a time. While a prepaid card solves this issue, not all stations have booths or machines to reload the card, and getting stranded with no balance is not an ideal situation. I prefer to tap, which you can do at all MTA train stations and busses. You can tap with a smartphone, smartwatch, or a contactless-enabled bank card.
