Tip for tourists: be very careful and alert on the NYC subway and transit system. Crime is high and just be as alert as possible of your surroundings! It’s even scary at the moment for current commuters and New Yorkers so just be careful.
Agree, got scammed on 49th St last weekend. Trying to use the machine for the MTA card, was taking my time, guy behind me said he was in a rush, said he'd help out..
Gave me a card, said the machine not working, but it was, so took cash for the card, 60 dollars was around 30 dollars on the card..so warning is if anyone wants to offer help and not wearing the right uniform don't accept it, say thank you but can sort it yourself
I went in January and again in March. In January people were plastered to the subway walls to prevent from getting pushed onto the tracks, and in March it had lightened up and police presence on each and ever platform and train car. Go, go , go NYC we've got this
@@jackieny9914 it’s quite scary at the moment. I take the train probably around 5-6 times a week (within Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens) and each time I enter the subway, all jokes aside, I take a deep breath and have to calm myself down before entering. From being throw up on, harassed by homeless mentally unstable people who literally live in the subway system, sexually harassed with disgusting unwarranted comments, and actually threatened it’s far from safe although it’s one of my primary methods of transportation. The days my boyfriend offers to drive me honestly are such blessings and I feel 100% more safe. I would also like to add that I have lived here my entire life and know my stations very well (where to hold my bag a little tighter to my side or which stations to attempt to avoid due to high crime especially in Brooklyn ), but being a tourist I can see how this form of transit could be altogether threatening and not worth it. And with uber and taxi prices raising with the crime rates, it’s just honestly a mess. If visiting NY again just like you said, stand as close as you can to the walls to avoid being a potential victim or “easy target.” As well, research which stations to be extra cautious and do not strike up conversation with strangers unless completely necessary/ answer anyone near you since you never know their intent. Also, never enter a very empty train car since there is most likely a reason its empty. Usually being extra smelly, someone homeless causing a stir, someone rude who is harassing others, or any potential danger. All this said, I love NYC and honestly wouldn’t leave. The NYC transit however, needs to be changed ASAP before more lives are taken.
@@carolbenson8963 thanks I’m actually moving to riverdale next month and looking forward to being reliant on the trains everyday. My boyfriend uses the buses now because like you, he has encountered a bit too much of the homeless issues. I’m so upset with our current administration and prior administrations for not addressing the homeless mentally I’ll problem as though they’re non existent. Here in la it’s like a summer camp set up every ten blocks only not fun like a summer camp. We need to take care of humans for crying out loud
Hi there! Fellow New Yorker here to give the New Yorkers guide to New York! Also don’t go to the bs tourist attractions. Eat at local diners and cafés, play sports at pier 6, 5, and 2, and in Central Park. Cadman plaza. Also go biking around Manhattan. Best part of New York in my opinion. Also go to the restaurant Jackson Hole on the east, I think it’s around 60th. Just don’t go on the subway to deep Brooklyn. Brooklyn Heights is also nice. Walk across park Ave and Lexington (lex)- very thrilling. The regency hotel hosts most ambassadors- in fact I saw joe Biden there once. Bilao is a rly great Philippine restaurant , along with Cibao. The MoMA is great for you old folks who like boring museums. The oculus is great, but don’t shop there it’s a tourist trap (id assume I’ve never actually been there myself). Also id go to battery park and visit the mall there, and u should prolly go to the regal battery park there too. The best place to go for movies in NYC tho is Alamo Drafthouse. Even if it’s not a movie ur super excited to see, it’s one of the best movie experiences in the country. The Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building are for suckers (no respectable New Yorker has ever gone there in their life), and go to Bryant park. Also don’t go to disgusting New Jersey. Long Island is okay- pretty boring though (it’s the Florida for New Yorkers). The upper east side is better than the upper west, Brooklyn heights is better than the west, the upper west side is better than all lower Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn, and that’s pretty much it! New Yorker’s guide to New York :) have fun in the greatest city in the world! -I forgot to mention SOHO btw
If you're looking for info on what to do and where to go in NYC, Sarah is the goto girl. I made sure to book a walking tour with her for my first time to the city and it was so much fun! It was the perfect way to get acquainted with all New York has to offer. Thanks Sarah!

Omg! So glad I found your channel. Moving back to NYC July 1st and have learned a ton from your 2 videos I have watched already. Can't wait and Thank You!
I am planning on traveling next month and your channel is so helpful because I might be traveling alone. I can’t wait to make new content for my channel.
You always have great video's about New York. And I like to watch it. Often good tips,, which I use for my next trip to the city. This september I'm going to NYC, and am going to use some of your tips. :)
Brooklyn Bridge Park is so awesome especially with that view of Manhattan! That was the first thing I did when I went to visit Brooklyn during my NYC trip last September. I know both of the overlooks you featured were either not open yet or were still closed when I went, but I'll have to check out both of them on a future visit. Awesome video!

Hey Sarah I would love one of these videos for clubs bars for those of use that are in our 20 love your videos moved here a year ago and your videos and recommendations have been absolutely amazing
So excited to be going to New York for the first time in just over two weeks from now, can’t wait to finally be travelling again! And I’ve made sure to book myself on to the food tour! 🍕🍕

From someone who has visited NY many times over the years it’s really forgotten how to treat their over seas visitors The times of the fast bug is truly back !!! Customer service at the bottom of anywhere Ive been 😒 Although nothing against NY people they are great 👍
Sarah I agree Brooklyn Bridge Park is beautiful. Very easy to get to. F train to York Street B69 bus last Stop State Street About 5 minute walk from those areas. Domino Park and Marcia P Johnson Park .Both in Williamsburg Brooklyn. and both are on Kent Ave.
I’ll be there in June! Gotta try that dinner cruise because how cool is it to eat while cruising and seeing the skyline?! When can we catch a movie outside at Brooklyn Bridge Park in June?
A very interesting video as usual, what would we do without you Sarah😀 and did I notice my two favourite vloggers in one video, Sarah with cupofTJ, how can this be possible🤣
Another awesome sauce video. Is there a website for those apartments you were talking about in the beginning of the video? I’d like to get more information. Happy holidays thank you for all you do
Hey Sarah! I’m originally from Queens but live in Florida now! I don’t remember if you made a video about this or not, but can you make a video on tips to be safe when taking the subway, especially after hours?
@@SarahFunky I was ! It was our first trip around Manhattan without driving and we got to see barges and tugboats I don't think we saw any ocean liner on the West Side, but at that time they were already mostly gone due to jets providing faster service to Europe and over storms. Such were the days as very accurately described in Mad Men TV series when everything was beginning to change. I am a New Yorker who grew up there in the borough of Queens.
Although I love your videos, I do feel you should make a more realistic/updated video on staying safe in the city as the crime has sky rocketed and it gives tourists a false sense of the city right now
I live in NYC and I feel very safe in this fascinating city. I am out and about every single day. I take subway daily. I just don't go to creepy places and stay away from creepy characters. Just be street smart. We don't have grizzly bears roaming in the streets. We don't have bombs dropping on our apartments. Relax and enjoy this very beautiful City!#
Sarah, we are planning to visit again for a NY Christmas, but are currently concerned with all the reports of increased crime, unsafe subway, etc... is this over blown or is NY seeing some tough times? Thanks Tony (Australia)
My husband is from nyc and all his loved ones live there. It is currently HORRIBLE there. So much crime, robberies, murders, gang and gun violence. It does not feel at all as safe as it used to. You feel like you’re walking on edge when you’re walking throughout the city. It is not at all how it was a good 5 years ago. It has severely declined. Just wanted to let you know our stance on the city. We used to go every month and don’t plan to go for awhile until it gets safer.
does the "Pay what you wish (PWYW)" is for everyone? even non NYC residents? I wanted to go to the american museum of Nature and I can reserve a "PWYW" ticket with the hotel zip code but just worried if I'll be stopped on the door or asked for an american ID, does anyone know if they ask for Id? :(
I ended up getting COVID in NYC. Mask wearing is sketchy, and some don't wear it on the subway. It ruined my trip. It does not feel as safe or as fun as it did before COVID. I did not feel as at ease, and that would be true in many major cities seeing a COVID surge. It is a wonderful city but maybe - depending on COVID - it will be a better place to visit in the summer. I did not feel scared to take the subway or to walk around, as I come from a big city.
What is happening to New York City??!!! People are scared to take the Subway, which is the life of the City... Crime is on the rise !!! Everything is getting more and more Expensive... Tough to afford !!!
As a lifelong new Yorker, DO NOT VISIT, is is a waste of your time spend your hard earned money traveling to a place thats actually fun and memorable. It is boring here, the fun things to do are short experiences that will waste your entire day and cost a lot. If your taking a week vacation here to eat food, do an escape room and go to museums, reconsider. So many other cities and states offer much more.
This channel used to be good and helpful, but now it's full of affiliate marketing... There's nothing wrong with that Sarah, you're making money, and that's great.. but the ones that are looking for real help online can't get it here anymore...

Long Island is okay- pretty boring though (it’s the Florida for New Yorkers). The upper east side is better than the upper west, Brooklyn heights is better than the west, the upper west side is better than all lower Manhattan and downtown Brooklyn, and that’s pretty much it! New Yorker’s guide to New York :) have fun in the greatest city in the world! -I forgot to mention SOHO btw
I like the ground!
From someone who has visited NY many times over the years it’s really forgotten how to treat their over seas visitors
The times of the fast bug is truly back !!!
Customer service at the bottom of anywhere Ive been 😒
Although nothing against NY people they are great 👍
wow i miss new york
Nice.
Cool video
Thank you!
Best things to do in New York City are eating and sleeping 😂 thanks so much Sarah for your effort.👍
Sarah
I agree Brooklyn Bridge Park is beautiful.
Very easy to get to. F train to York Street B69 bus last Stop State Street About 5 minute walk from those areas.
Domino Park and Marcia P Johnson Park .Both in Williamsburg Brooklyn. and both are on Kent Ave.
can't wait to go to the bronx zoo too!!
Thank you for the great videos, Sarah. You described the experience at the edge so vividly, that I think I’ll pass. a little too edgy for me😁
I miss you and someday I will vist Ny
Excellent video. Could we do another rooftop bar video and more on restaurants as well? Thanks x
I’ll be there in June! Gotta try that dinner cruise because how cool is it to eat while cruising and seeing the skyline?! When can we catch a movie outside at Brooklyn Bridge Park in June?
A very interesting video as usual, what would we do without you Sarah😀 and did I notice my two favourite vloggers in one video, Sarah with cupofTJ, how can this be possible🤣
Another awesome sauce video. Is there a website for those apartments you were talking about in the beginning of the video? I’d like to get more information. Happy holidays thank you for all you do
Beautiful movie 😍 new sub and bell ❤
Hey Sarah! I’m originally from Queens but live in Florida now! I don’t remember if you made a video about this or not, but can you make a video on tips to be safe when taking the subway, especially after hours?
see my comment above
I Would love my trip planned
Hi Nesha! My team and I would love to help you with that. The link is here: sarahfunky.com/nyc-concierge
Re dining....check out Winonas 676 Flushing Avenue, great space and creative tasty food 😋
Hi Sara love you 💞
Back in the 1960s my family went to see NYC by Circle Line ferry and the Staten Island ferry.
Sounds like a wonderful memory to have!
@@SarahFunky I was ! It was our first trip around Manhattan without driving and we got to see barges and tugboats I don't think we saw any ocean liner on the West Side, but at that time they were already mostly gone due to jets providing faster service to Europe and over storms. Such were the days as very accurately described in Mad Men TV series when everything was beginning to change. I am a New Yorker who grew up there in the borough of Queens.
I’ll be in New York next week and I’m staying at The Sonder in Long Island City. I cannot wait! 😆
Is that new? I'm from New York but I have never heard of the sonder
Although I love your videos, I do feel you should make a more realistic/updated video on staying safe in the city as the crime has sky rocketed and it gives tourists a false sense of the city right now
I live in NYC and I feel very safe in this fascinating city. I am out and about every single day. I take subway daily.
I just don't go to creepy places and stay away from creepy characters. Just be street smart.
We don't have grizzly bears roaming in the streets. We don't have bombs dropping on our apartments. Relax and enjoy this very beautiful City!#
Loved the video... Did you mean the Hot Tub Boat? The graphics on the screen say The Hot Tube Boat
OMG lol Whoops! Yes, I meant Tub***
Sarah, we are planning to visit again for a NY Christmas, but are currently concerned with all the reports of increased crime, unsafe subway, etc... is this over blown or is NY seeing some tough times? Thanks Tony (Australia)
My husband is from nyc and all his loved ones live there. It is currently HORRIBLE there. So much crime, robberies, murders, gang and gun violence. It does not feel at all as safe as it used to. You feel like you’re walking on edge when you’re walking throughout the city. It is not at all how it was a good 5 years ago. It has severely declined. Just wanted to let you know our stance on the city. We used to go every month and don’t plan to go for awhile until it gets safer.
does the "Pay what you wish (PWYW)" is for everyone? even non NYC residents? I wanted to go to the american museum of Nature and I can reserve a "PWYW" ticket with the hotel zip code but just worried if I'll be stopped on the door or asked for an american ID, does anyone know if they ask for Id? :(
At what time of the year is it better to visit New York?
The spa and boat dinner look epic, but walking ard NYC, no ty
Since when Bronx Zoo is pay what you wish? It's only Wednesdays . Other times they charge you an arm to feed the tigers
I ended up getting COVID in NYC. Mask wearing is sketchy, and some don't wear it on the subway. It ruined my trip. It does not feel as safe or as fun as it did before COVID. I did not feel as at ease, and that would be true in many major cities seeing a COVID surge. It is a wonderful city but maybe - depending on COVID - it will be a better place to visit in the summer. I did not feel scared to take the subway or to walk around, as I come from a big city.
Hi, I wanted to check out your Bublup folders but it said that your folder reached it's max member limit :(
Hi Justin! Sorry about that. I'll get that sorted out. You can send me an email and I'll give you access once it's fixed!
@@SarahFunky Thank you!
a rooftop question for Sarah and chat: Overstory rooftop does not make it to this video? oh my, why though?
U back in ny??
Yes!
I thought you were in mexico now?
Worth visiting? That must be a joke. Of course it is. I loved it during my first visit ever 3 weeks ago
This video should have been titled, "Is the subway worth taking?"
ur beautiful... so i subscribed...
Whenever i see her videos. For few seconds, she makes me thing of Jacinda Ardern. I do not know why, 🙃
What is happening to New York City??!!! People are scared to take the Subway, which is the life of the City... Crime is on the rise !!! Everything is getting more and more Expensive... Tough to afford !!!
NYC guide? Youre from Saratoga.. be a Saratoga guide
New York…..lol.
Please address the rampant crime issue in New York. Else it would be a dis-service to subscribers to visit and be sliced up by ruthless criminals.
As a lifelong new Yorker, DO NOT VISIT, is is a waste of your time spend your hard earned money traveling to a place thats actually fun and memorable. It is boring here, the fun things to do are short experiences that will waste your entire day and cost a lot. If your taking a week vacation here to eat food, do an escape room and go to museums, reconsider. So many other cities and states offer much more.
This channel used to be good and helpful, but now it's full of affiliate marketing... There's nothing wrong with that Sarah, you're making money, and that's great.. but the ones that are looking for real help online can't get it here anymore...
Stand with Ukraine.
Vacation 2 NYC? 😂🤣😂 No thanks!
Overpriced and overrated.
