[@SarahFunky]

I legit learned so much from this! No wonder it still takes me an hour to get anywhere in Brooklyn. I had no idea it would be the fourth largest city if it was not part of NYC!

Great info Jennifer ! The walking distances and nyer pet peeves are very well explained. It’s not that nyers are rude, but we are rushing from place a to b and every second counts. Love the change of scenery as you explain all this.

Food and Footprints SEX!!! So now that I’ve gotten your attention I want to tell you guys something. My name is Lianna and I’m 16 years old high school student. I’m from NY. I live in a city area where I see tons of homeless people. I sometimes when I have money I get food and give it some homeless people but then I see there’s so many staring and looking at me waiting for me give them food too and I never have enough money to feed all. I honestly feel bad. I tried making a fund me account but I only raised few hundred dollars on that and I fed homeless for a week after school and that’s about it. Someone told me I should try it through KZbin and that’s what I’m doing now. I’m here to ask all of you for help. Every dollar counts. Please donate whatever you can and help me feed homeless. It’ll be really great if you can just even sent a $1. Like I said every penny or dollar accounts. My cashapp for this is $helpneeded1 . Please donate. Thank you soo much in advance.

'Tip #77 Food and drinks come in large portions' That's one of the things that sticks out in my memory. I could not believe the large servings put in front of me! As a small to average size eater, I rarely finished meals in NYC. Most times I could only manage a third or half the plate before quitting. You'll surely never hungry in NYC.

[@Jenniferobrien]

Yes servings are so huge it's really ridiculous! Many people take extra food to go though, yes you'll never go hungry!

Amazing and informative.

[@swrenn]

Wow! I never knew that about Howston Street! But the overpriced thing, I've seen stuff costing more here in the Poconos than in NYC (besides Times Square). And the nastiness? Most of the people in NY are nicer than the New Yorkers who moved here! But yeah, I always try to find cheaper spots than the norm. Anything about the Metro Card replacement? I thought that was beginning roll out in May.

[@Jenniferobrien]

Oh wow more expensive and rude there!? Yes I need to do a new video about the new cards for the subway, it's started rolling out but I think most everyone is still just using the swipe MetroCards, it's interesting, need to make a video about it!

[@swrenn]

@@Jenniferobrien yeah, saw a $7 taco that was small the other day, vs Los Numero Uno taco being $3 and bigger. And yeah, nicer. That's the stereotype, that I think you addressed in a video that it was overblown. 😁 It even affected my view, so I've been surprised at times by New Yorkers being nice in the street. But yeah, it happens. I think out here it turns to someone having to be the most "New York" they can.

I second this

[@cassiebaby333]

I’m going for a week in October and I am so confused by the tipping!!

[@Jenniferobrien]

Awww no worries! The thing is to just tip 15-20% depending on more if you really like the service for restaurant waiters or bar bartenders or taxis.

[@starrynightsleep]

If there is a service charge on your receipt, that is technically a tip and then it isn’t required for u to tip. That’s what another “nyc tips” video told me, anyway. Other than that, you should tip atleast 15%. You can just multiply your total before the tip times 15 or 20(or more if you really liked the service and want to tip a lot) on your phone, and then move the decimal twice to the left, and that would be your tip. I hope that wasn’t confusing💛
