 | |  |  | Walking: Your own two feet | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
I'm a big fan of exploring by foot, but NYC is a large city and not as walkable friendly as many other cities. There are just way too many people out and about and too much ground to cover. But if you take the time and have a well thought out plan you can discover lovely parts of the city on foot. Some of my favorite are LES, Chinatown, Village, Chelsea, NOLITA, Midtown, UWS, UES just to name a few. There are so many quaint little shops, bars, restaurants you'll miss if you use public transport. NOTE: Noooooooo....don't do it!! Ladies, please don't wear those "tacky" little flip-flops, cross-trainers (especially white), and those horrid flats to walk around a fashionable city like New York City (or any other city, especially Paris), no matter how tempted you are!! It's just not trendy or stylish!!! (Okay, the jeweled-toned flats are cute). So grab your most sylish comfy shoes and get out there and explore!! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Although the NY Yellow cabs are easy to track down and cheap to dash around the city we really enjoyed walking. The first few days of our holiday was speant mainly on foot exploring NY , giving us a real feel of the place. The main advantages are that you can stop and pop into any shop or cafe and take time out. We covered so much ground on foot and you find out things ans see things that may pass you by if you were in a cab. All i will say is take some blister plasters! Plus you can walk off those excess pounds you ate at breakfast! Theme: Other

The best way by far to see new york city is by walking. While walking the atmosphere can be soaked up and you get the whole wow factor when looking at the big buildings lol. Manhatten is easy to get about with crossings at the end of each block and therefore crossing is easy. Although care needs to be taken when crossing due to the fact cars can turn left on red lights as long as its clear. As for the safety aspect eg muggings I found it extremely safe and never encountered any problems but like any big city care needs to be taken as complacency in your surroundings may lead to becoming a target.

Walking is the best way to get around the city, so long as you know where you are going. Maps are always helpful, but try to get a small one. You will not only burn those unwanted calories but you will get to sightsee as well! Theme: Other
