Tipping in New York
« on: July 26, 2004, 05:09:38 AM »
My gf's sister is going to New York in september and she asked me about tipping. If i remember correctly the usual is about 15-20% in resturants and about a buck per bag to bellhops. A couple of $ to the maids a day to isnt it?

danke.

Be advised that some of the Mid town manh. establishments add the tip on the bill, and never ask for Mayo with your pastrami!!
 If you drop food on the side walk run for your life, the pidgeons
 will crap all over you...

I flew in and went to a Deli across from Penn station, was starving so I ordered a pastrami on Rye with mayo, the guy behind the counter asked me if I was sick for ordering mayo with pastrami, he wanted to say "getoutahere"... so I walked over to
 Mad square garden to eat on the steps and the door man told me hey "get theshreckoutaherewiththat" and as I left I dropped part of my mayo and pastrami sandwhich and it turned into a scene from the birds... pidgeons from all over Manhatten converged onto the gardens front step after a 1/8 ounce piece of pastrami and several strands of lettuce.... A sidewalk preacher singing the end of the world started screaming its a sign of the end thats coming...  "This guy was good!!"

I was mental from that image... took me a week to get those images out of my head.....
