1. Check The Weather: Though one of the US’s most beautiful cities, NYC is not a favourite when it is cold and grey. To maximize the success of your event, plan your corporate retreat around good weather, or special events. Think: June, September, or December (Christmas lights!).
2. Familiarize Yourself With The Boroughs: New York is famed for its various boroughs, and most will go as far as to say that each one has its own identity! Ensure you’ve selected the right venue for your corporate retreat by doing plenty of research beforehand. For example, you may not want to bring a corporate retreat to Staten Island if you’re looking for a luxury hotel in Manhattan!
3. Wear The Right Shoes: Even if your group is taking private transfers to and from their hotel or venues, a requirement for a New York visit is good shoes! There is so much to see in the city, and packing comfortable shoes ensures that no matter where your feet take you, you’re enjoying yourself!
Safety in NYC is a top priority, with the city maintains a robust infrastructure dedicated to public security. However, like any major urban area, it's essential for groups to remain aware of their surroundings and take necessary precautions. While violent crime rates have decreased significantly over the years, petty theft and opportunistic crime can still occur, particularly in crowded tourist areas. It's advisable for groups to stay vigilant, especially in busy areas like Times Square and crowded public transportation hubs.
Additionally, be mindful of traffic when navigating the city streets and always use designated crosswalks. Overall, by staying informed, exercising caution, and utilizing common sense, groups can enjoy their time in NYC safely and securely.
