Once you've booked your trip to New York City, there are important things you can do before you come to help make your trip run more smoothly and be more enjoyable.So if you've already booked your flights and are getting excited to come to NYC, let's dive into seven things you should do right now before landing in New York City.1- Set Up a Transit Card in Digital WalletIn 2026, every subway turnstile in New York City accepts tap-to-pay through the OMNY system. While you can just use a tap-to-pay-enabled credit or debit card, it is often easier and faster to use your phone.Whether you have an iPhone or Android phone, there is also a way to set up a rapid transit card. The directions vary for each device. Essentially, you go into the settings, find your digital wallet, choose the transit or rapid transit option, and set your default card.When you do this, you can tap your phone up to the tap-to-pay reader at the subway turnstile without opening your wallet or using your face or Touch ID. This is a much more efficient way to get through the subway turnstile.2- Read the Transportation GuideNew York City is a massive metropolis with five boroughs and loads of different neighborhoods and attractions. Getting around NYC can feel overwhelming, especially if you're new to big cities.Our Ultimate NYC Transportation Guide covers everything you need to know, including:Getting to and from the major airportsRiding the subwayHailing taxisWalking around the cityBikingSo much moreIt is 100% free. Head here to get this must-have guide, and then, of course, read it before you come to New York City.3- Activities You Should Book in AdvanceWhile there's a seemingly endless supply of things to do in New York City, some of the more popular attractions can sell out or book up well in advance. Here are some activities you should book in advance to ensure you can go:Broadway showsRestaurantsComedy showsJazz clubGuided tours4- Buy and Break in Comfortable Walking ShoesArguably, the most important item on the NYC packing list is the shoes you will wear every day. You will likely walk anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 steps per day or more.While many people anticipate walking around to different locations, many attractions, like museums, also involve a lot of walking.Prioritize comfortable shoes and make sure that whatever shoes you choose and bring are already broken in and comfortable for miles of walking each day.5- Download Helpful AppsIn the digital age, apps are a must-have for travel experiences. Many apps will hold tickets for the events you'll be attending, provide information vital to your day-to-day travels in New York City, and even help you get around.Our full list of the best apps for NYC travel is a must-read.6- Figure Out a Phone PlanFor international travelers, your phone plan from your home country may not work well in the United States. While Wi-Fi is Available in many places, it's a good idea to have a reliable phone connection. eSIMs are one of the best ways to do this.I personally used Saily on a recent trip to France and had a wonderful experience overall. Use my code DEVINL9611 at checkout to get US$5.00 off a regular plan or US$10.00 off an Ultra plan. 7- Determine If You’ll Get a City PassOur full NYC pass comparison article is an extremely helpful tool, as you did, for deciding whether you need an attraction pass.
