They come every 30 minutes so it is just a matter of timing.

Walk everywhere you want to go… in NYC…. In August…. As a first time visitor.

lol dude are you working for the company or some shit?? Walking in NYC is awesome and super easy and safe. Riding on a old ass stinky bus crammed with a 100 other tourists isn't as awsome as you seem to think.

I love NYC and trust me walking around that city in August is not something a first time visitor wants to do.

I usually just buy a transit card and ride the subway. It's immersive to the local NYC culture and safe *some limits apply. I've seen and met some interesting locals in my visits, but I always go with "If its late, take a cab" is my rule for transportation, and also if the train car is empty it's for a good fucking reason so avoid it as well.
