Personally, I tip at a bakery, slice shop, or coffee place if it’s in your neighborhood and you want to be a “Regular”. I tip my baristas at the place on my block $1 for my coffee, and $1 at my usual slice shop, not anywhere else.

I’d suggest wearing headphones with nothing playing, that way you’re aware and also no one bothers you.

The water fountains get turned off when the temp goes below freezing for winter so the pipes don’t burst. They go on once the temps are consistently above freezing.

Not adding a tip on takeaway/takeout is correct. Though baristas appreciate a tip if you make a large and complex takeout order

You absolutely need to tip food delivery minimum 10%, but especially in bad weather.

Depending on when you were in the parks, the bubblers / water fountains may not have been turned on yet for the season. As long as they’re not broken, they should all be on now / after Memorial Day. 💦

What’s a down light? Also the concept of a siren not going off continually is blowing my mind

I don’t tip for counter service or take out UNLESS I have an annoying or complicated order or the person goes above and beyond. It’s definitely not a necessity

The water fountains in Central Park all work. They just get turned off in the winter so they don’t really get turned on until May

NYC water is from the protected Catskill Mountain watershed - it's really high quality

There’s no free public infrastructure in New York City? What do you think all of the parks are? You’re not paying to get into them.

Fountains turn on at a specific time after the winter or the pipes will freeze and burst. You know you can google all this stuff

Don’t be afraid to not j walk from someone who grew up there with a protective mom. I do just cross occasionally but at a light I always wait

Tipping is for dining in or delivery to the person who brings the food to your apartment. The streetlight does make noise if you are standing next to it, it makes a ticking sound for the disabled. Wear headphones with one ear in and one out to be alert. Tap water in NYC is one of the best quality in the US just get a filter because buildings may not have decent pipes. Citibikes have annual plans and discounts. Sirens can not be off because of the constant traffic and jaywalking, otherwise they wouldn't get to emergencies. Just makes sense, street noise dulls the sound.
