The hustle and bustle of New York City can feel daunting at times. Especially when the sidewalks, subways, and streets are busy. Which happens a lot!
In this episode, we're gonna break down the #1 NYC sidewalk rule to never break.
And let's be clear, this is the main reason New Yorkers are often viewed as mean or cranky.
Let's do it. 👇
The #1 NYC sidewalk rule... Do NOT stop in the middle of the sidewalk. If you need to look at directions, tie your shoes, or take a picture, move to the side of the sidewalk.
Just like you would in a car!
And the same goes for stopping at the tops or bottoms of stairs, just don't do it!
Most in New York are trying to commute, and stopping in these spots is the equivalent of stopping in the middle of a 1-lane road while driving a car.
Ultimately, we're all trying to get places as safely and quickly as possible, so respect the rules of the sidewalk and everyone wins. 😀
