Traveler advice

Getting around

Wake up early

The city is quietest in the morning before most tourists are out and about. It's the best time to walk/bike in Central Park (but stay in the designated lanes on the roadway so that you don't enrage runners!) and also other busy spots like The High Line.
Getting around

Use Citymapper...

or some alternate app than google maps to get directions as gmaps is frequently not updated with train delays etc.
