Here is a fun, but useful post-- how to catch a cab in New York City or any major city for that matter. Years ago, before I moved out to the horse, cow and goat farms, I lived in Manhattan and worked there for many more. I learned a few tricks to help catch a cab-- even when it was raining.

Here are my best tips based on years of experience-- to catch a cab in New York City:

• An avenue- Most cabs are going up and down avenues or return to avenues from cross streets
• A destination- Key destinations like train stations (Grand Central or Penn Station in NYC), tourist spots (Times Square), museums, and the like always have cabs coming and going
• Go to a known cab stand- In New York there are cab stands know mainly to locales, but they can be discovered by out-of-towners-- try hotels or main cross streets and avenues

These tips should get you started on getting a cab fast in New York. However, I would add that you try buses for quick runs up and down avenues. My reasons for this last bit of advice is that they are:

• Frequent
• Cheap
• Capable of making stops between Subway stops like cabs

Good luck!
