Reader reviews for NYC Basic Tips and Etiquette

From the publisher

New York Times Bestseller

By the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Strange Planet and 99 Stories I Could Tell!

Living in New York City for five years as a transplant from Ohio, illustrator and T-shirt designer Nathan Pyle was fascinated by the unique habits and unspoken customs New Yorkers follow to make life bearable in a city with 8 million people (and seemingly twice the number of tourists). In NYC Basic Tips and Etiquette, Pyle reveals the secrets and unwritten rules for living in and visiting New York including the answers to such burning questions as, how do I hail a cab? What is a bodega? Which way is Uptown? Why are there so many doors in the sidewalk? How do I walk on an escalator? Do we need be touching right now? Where should I inhale or exhale while passing sidewalk garbage? How long should I honk my horn? If New York were a game show, how would I win? What happens when I stand in the bike lane? Who should get the empty subway seats? How do I stay safe during a trash tornado? Each tip in this witty nonfiction guide is a little story illustrated in simple black and white drawings.

An indispensable survival guide for any NYC transplant or tourist, this book covers:

  • Unwritten Rules: Learn the unspoken social contracts of subway seats, sidewalk garbage avoidance, and why you never, ever stop in the bike lane.
  • NYC Etiquette: Master the subtle art of hailing a yellow cab, walking on an escalator, and determining exactly how long you should honk your horn.
  • Illustrated Humor: Enjoy dozens of simple, witty black-and-white cartoons that bring each essential tip to life with laugh-out-loud charm.
  • For Tourists and Transplants: Find answers to burning questions like 'What is a bodega?' and 'Which way is Uptown?' in this perfect companion for anyone new to the city.

From the rear cover

Living in New York City for five years as a transplant from Ohio, illustrator and T-shirt designer Nathan Pyle was fascinated by the unique habits and unspoken customs New Yorkers follow to make life bearable in a city with 8 million people (and seemingly twice the number of tourists). Nathan decided to draw his favorite tips and etiquette lessons and post them on the internet, where his 12 original panels went viral immediately and became the basis for this hilarious illustrated book (check out the fully animated ebook, too!).

In NYC Basic Tips and Etiquette, Pyle reveals the secrets and unwritten rules for living in and visiting New York including the answers to such burning questions as, which cabs should I try to hail? What is a bodega? Which way is Uptown? Why are there so many doors in the sidewalk? How do I walk on an escalator? Do we need to be touching right now? Where should I inhale or exhale while passing sidewalk garbage? How long should I honk my horn? If New York were a game show, how would I win? What happens when I stand in the bike lane? Who should get the empty subway seats? How do I stay safe during a trash tornado? Each tip is a little story illustrated in simple black and white drawings.

Visitors and newcomers to New York will love it because the advice is smart, funny, and not condescending. New Yorkers will love it for its strategic and humorous approach to mastering the daily chaos of the city.
