Trip Tips and What to Pack For Your
Manhattan, New York Singles Vacations
Passport and Visas:
While all international travelers will need a valid passport, U.S. citizens do not need to apply for a tourist visa. If you hold a passport from another nation, however, check to see if Mexico requires you to get a visa. All travelers need to obtain a Forma Migratoria Multiple if they will be traveling by land in the Cancun area.
Foreign nationals who wish to visit the United States for leisure or tourism are normally eligible to receive a B-2 Tourist Visa. B-2 Tourist Visas are "visitor visas" and are required for citizens of countries that are not included in the Visa Waiver Program. However, even citizens of countries included in the Visa Waiver Program are required to hold a valid B-2 visa if they plan to stay in the United States for longer than 90 days, change status to another nonimmigrant visa, or adjust status to permanent resident (Green Card) after entering the country.
Local Currency:
The US dollar (familiarly called a ‘buck’) is divided into 100 cents (¢). Coins come in denominations of 1¢ (penny), 5¢ (nickel), 10¢ (dime), 25¢ (quarter), the practically extinct 50¢ (half-dollar), and the not-oft-seen golden dollar coin, which was introduced in early 2000, featuring a picture of Sacagawea, the Native American guide who led the explorers Lewis and Clark on their expedition through the western US. Although striking, the gold coins are prohibitively heavy and jingle conspicuously, alerting panhandlers to your well-heeled presence
Time:
New York is in the Eastern Time Zone in the United States of America (USA). Eastern Standard Time (EST) is 5 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-5).

Electric Plugs:
Their day-to-day EV charging needs would be relatively minimal, and the Mayor’s PlaNYC confirmed this sentiment in its survey of early EV adopters, who expressed disinterest in a dense public charging network.
Electrical sockets (outlets) in the United States of New York usually supply electricity at between 110 and 120 volts AC. If you're plugging in an appliance that is compatible with multiple voltages, then an adapter is all you need.
But travel plug adapters do not change the voltage, so the electricity coming through the adapter will still be the same 110-120 volts the socket is supplying. If your appliance is from another part of the world, and it is built only for 220-240 volt electricity, or a Japanese appliance built for 100 volts, then a travel plug adapter by itself won't be sufficient. The voltage will have to be changed from 110-120 volts at the socket, to whatever voltage your appliance requires. This is accomplished with a voltage transformer.
Weather:
New York climate is very tropical with high temperatures throughout the year. The daytime temperature hardly climbs to 30°C and the island receives a great level of sunshine. In fact, it experiences two distinctive seasons; dry season, from May till September, and wet seasons, from October till April.
he warming that's anticipated from climate change is happening throughout the year, so the months that are already hot — like June, July and August — are going to get hotter, but months that are more moderate, like May and September, may become uncomfortably hot or fatally hot,
