Interviewer:
What should people do to make their visit to New York City safe and
pleasant?
Spokesperson:
I think the biggest mistake many people make is trying to do too
much in a short time. There's so much
to see and do that you need to have a plan. It's best to start
planning before you get here, so you
have information
about hotels, restaurants, sightseeing, and so on. Visitors can use
our Web site to get the information they need to start planning
before they come here; or they can phone or fax
us.
Interviewer:
How safe is New York City for
tourists?
Spokesperson:
New York is a much safer place than many people think. In fact,
it's the
safest it's been in
thirty years!
Interviewer:
Oh, that's good to hear!
Spokesperson:
Yes, but that doesn't mean
people don't have to
be careful; tourists in New York ought to be careful, just like in
any big city in the world. For students, I would say travel in
groups. If you get lost, it's easier
as a group to find your way. You really shouldn't go off
on your own if you can find someone to go with you. Another thing
to remember is: Don't be
afraid to ask for directions, even if your English
isn't
perfect. People often stop me on the street to ask for directions,
and that's not
only foreign visitors. American visitors also have trouble finding
their way around; and you'll find
New Yorkers are really very
friendly.
Interviewer:
Yes, I agree. We are!
Spokesperson:
Uh-huh.
Interviewer:
Is there any other advice you can give visitors to the Big
Apple?
Spokesperson:
Well, another thing to remember is not to leave anything valuable
in your car if you have one. Don't leave
suitcases on the back seat where people can see them, and
it's better
not to even leave them in the truck. Most cars are very easy to get
into, so it's not
worth the risk. But most people have a great time when they come to
New York. And you will, too, if you use your common
sense.
