The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how the world works in endless ways, including how we're able to safely travel. These tips will help you better understand the new challenges and get you ready for your journey to Long Island: Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before booking your flight. Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as installing a contact tracing app. Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask to verify your identity. To reduce the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA officer. One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for screening. Remove items from your pocket, like your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process. If you want to take food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.

Lovely boutique hotel just a few blocks from Grand Central. Area is relatively quiet with so many shops and eateries near by. The property is small with just a few rooms on each floor. The elevators are super fast and require key access. It feels very safe. The rooms are tiny - and yet well appointed, clean and very nice. Loved having plenty of places to plug in devices. Appreciated having a steamer in the room. Great for couples, mom/daughter adventures or singles. Highly recommended.
