Taxis are so affordable in NYC. With our group of 8 on my trip with relatives, with ppl aged 22-76, 2 taxis were a better way to get to a restaurant or museum than having come-from-aways attempt to navigate the subway.
I don’t use Ubers. They could work for people who really like using Uber.
Taking NYC taxis is part of the NYC experience for me.
I walk or taxi, and occasionally take the bus or subway.
