Group-trip tips
What groups wish they knew before New York.
- Get everyone on OMNY (tap-to-pay subway) — no MetroCard fumbling at every turnstile.
- Broadway rush and lottery tickets are a group sport: everyone enters, whoever wins picks the show.
- Pick one borough per day. The group that criss-crosses Manhattan-Brooklyn twice a day walks 15 miles angry.
FAQ
Planning a group trip to New York, answered.
How many days do you need in New York with friends?
Four to five days lets you do Manhattan’s hits, a full Brooklyn day, and one wildcard (Queens food, a beach, or a Hudson Valley hike).
When is the best time for a group trip to NYC?
May–June and September–October: rooftop weather without July’s swelter. December is magic but pricey and packed.
How do groups save money in New York?
Free icons first — Staten Island Ferry, Brooklyn Bridge walk, Central Park. Split a Long Island City or Brooklyn apartment and make bagels the default breakfast.
