How to Hail a NYC Cab

source

Attention tourists and NYC newbies: All your taxi questions are answered here!

Lesley Colvin writes three tips that will make you look like a local when hailing a cab. She tells you exactly where to stand, the proper way to get a cab drivers attention, and how to know if a cab is available. Also do you know about gypsy cabs? She tells all!

My favorite is the pop quiz at the end entitled: Why isn't this cab stopping for me? ha. I love it. Nicely done Lesley! I wish I would have written that post.

One last thing: Lesley is also fabulous NYC photographer. Check out her portfolio here and click here for pricing.  Contact her for a session and you won't be disappointed. :)

NYC taught my daughter how to catch a cab

My five year old literally caught a cab on the way to church last week. She stood on the side walk, raised her hand, and one pulled over. My husband and I were about 30 feet behind and were beaming.
