Tipping

Tipping is easy in New York. The way to do it: Double the 8 1/4% sales tax and voilà!, happy waitstaff. In fancier venues, another 5% is appropriate for the captain. If the wine steward helps, hand him or her 10% of the bottle's price.

Leave $1 per item, no matter how small, for the checkroom attendant.
