Tipping in New York

[FUNKED1]

Idiots, you should have told him that everybody tips 300% of the bill.  Or that they express their gratitude not with tips, but with open mouth kisses.

Oh and tip what ya feel is right, go by service.
The waiters in Manhatten think a tip is there god given right no matter how bad the service you recieve.  And there are no waiters in NYC they all actors and writers.(they will tell you)

Just tried typing in http://www.nyc.com and a site popped up.

said this about tipping...

"Tipping and Gratuities
Please take note, tips are not automatically added to restaurant and hotel bills. In restaurants, a tip to the wait person of 15% to 20% of the total check is customary. In New York City, you can easily leave the appropriate tip amount by doubling the 8.625% sales tax.

Some ther tipping guidelines:
15% to 20% of the fare to taxi drivers 10% to 15% of the tab to bartenders $1 to $2 per bag to bellhops $1 to $5 per day to hotel maids $1 to $2 per item to checkroom attendants $1 to $2 to valet parking attendants 15% to 20% to hairdressers

Finally, you are not expected to tip theater ushers, gas station attendants, or fast-food restaurant employees."

Looked like a doorman dressed like a doorman thus I call him a doorman!!

I had one real night to see NY before I taught class the next day,
 in class were 15 of the largest  resellers in the US, showing up drunk at 6:30 AM was not an option..business is business...
 meeting up with you would have no doubt been a Hoot but I couldn't take that chance of showing up late to teach drunk and stinking of booze... just to important of a trip to risk screwing up... Was my first trip to NY, it was as much a freak show as it was a city... BTW why didn't you tell me The Penn was such a ****hole, or is that normal Midtown accomodations, we have best westerns in florida that the penn makes look like a Marriott..
