flakingbiscuit Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I'll be going on a red-eye trip with my mom on Friday night to NYC and get there this Saturday around 8 AM. Do any people on Neowin have any tips on visiting NYC? Also, what are some good ways to keep my stuff secure? I don't wanna leave my mp3 player in the bus because I don't know about crime and busses ;) Thanks for any suggestions :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypercube Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Maintain sight with all your items; know your environment; act as you would if you were at an airport may be the best action set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPMCommander Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 yes, never lose sight of your stuff... also, buy a small cottage to keep your stuff in if you can't fit it all in your jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flakingbiscuit Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 thanks for the input :) would it be safe to just keep all my stuff in a bookbag, lock it, and carry it around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HPMCommander Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 (edited) yes. [EDIT]As long as you don't a) set the bookbag down b) give the bookbag to a large *hairy* "man" while signing a petition with an unusually large pen that requires two hands. c) forget to lock the bookbag [/EDIT] Edited December 1, 2003 by HPMCommander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blixkin Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 i live about 15 min away from the city and i have a few tips that could help you.. -do not wear really flashy jewlery -(at night) always look like you know where you're going. if you dont, people may wanna mess around with you and they could take advantage of you. -dont make eye contact with people on the street other than that, new york is a pretty safe city (minus some parts) and you should have a good time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 your hotel room will have a safe, or you can have them keep your bagages in storages (Y) you will have not problem walking around in the city with it though, very safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
