NYCTrip

Traveling next week to visit a friend and trying to bring a small gift in my carry on. She loves pickles, so I thought it would be fun to bring some good New York pickles. Not sure if anything like that is sold at duty free at JFK though. Would be perfect if they had something...

I’m flying NYC to Costa Rica later this month and I’m stuck on what to wear travel day. It’ll be cold when I leave home, but hot when I land. The bigger issue is the return… landing back in NYC and possibly waiting outside for a taxi in real winter temps. How do you all handle...

I’m 21 and heading to NYC next week for a trip I’ve been planning since October. My friend who was supposed to come can’t go anymore, but I decided to still go solo. The thing is… I told my parents I’d be going with her. They’re immigrant parents and super protective only child...

Heading to the US for the first time Dec 27–Jan 16 and can’t wait. Plan is NYC for New Year’s, then Tampa, then drive down to Miami Beach. We’re a couple in our 30s with two little kids (5 and 3). I’ve read up on tipping, but curious if anyone has tips for driving rules I should...

Hey all, my friend and I are flying from Orlando to New York City in October, and we’re hoping to use my dad’s flight credit from Spirit Airlines to help pay for it. The flights we're eyeing are nonstop Spirit flights around October 10 to15, booked directly through the Spirit...
