This is really true! Especially if you are taking the subway. Then directions come complete with, "take the back of the train & use this staircase."
And another thing here: if you want to make a grumpy New Yorker light up like a pinball machine, just ask for directions. You don't know where you're going? We will not only tell you the best route, but fill you in on random useless (yet VITAL) ways to get there and what you'll see along the way.
