Don’t Tip Less Than 20%

Source: https://www.nycvb.com/

Again, New York is an expensive city. Even tipping standards are higher than most places. Even though tipping is not required nor expected in some areas around the world, the United States generally adheres to an average tipping policy of 15%. Given the high cost of living in New York City, the average for tips is slightly higher. Nothing annoys New York servers more than poor tipping etiquette. Tipping less than 20% will bring you freaky stares from your servers. Consider the added expense as a goodwill gesture. After all, if you can afford to visit New York, you most definitely can afford to tip well. And remember, the people who work and live in New York make the city worth visiting, so show your appreciation and tip them well.
