Planning Tips
- Check hotel shuttle availability — when arriving from New York City airports, ask your accommodation about shuttle services to avoid expensive yellow cab fares that double at the city line.

- Be mindful of neighborhood boundaries — stick to areas of tourist interest and exercise caution in South Yonkers neighborhoods like Nodine Hill, particularly after dark.
