Everything you need to know about New York City
New York City is five boroughs of nonstop energy — the skyscraper canyons of Manhattan, Broadway's marquees, world-class museums along Central Park, and the food and nightlife of Brooklyn and Queens. It's compact, walkable, and stitched together by a 24-hour subway, making a long weekend more than enough to hit the icons. Base yourself in Midtown for the classic first-timer trip, or downtown for a more local feel.

Essential info for Canadian travellers
Passport & entry: Canadian citizens travelling to the US by air need only a valid passport — no visa or ESTA is required.
Currency: The US Dollar (USD) is used everywhere. Cards and tap-to-pay are widely accepted; keep small bills for tips, which are customary at 18–20%.
Power & plugs: The US uses 120V/60Hz with Type A/B plugs — the same as Canada, so your devices work without an adapter.
Time zone: New York runs on Eastern Time (ET) — the same time zone as Toronto and Montreal, so there's no jet lag.
Getting around: The 24-hour subway is the fastest way around — tap a credit card or phone at the turnstile with OMNY. Manhattan is very walkable; use rideshare or yellow cabs late at night.
