Manhattan DJ's a question

[chevelle]

How long does it take to travel by taxi in NYC/Manhattan? I have several appointments and they are all w/n 1 mile of each other. I can't be late to any of them, so am i asking for trouble traveling by taxi or am i better off walking?

I've never been to NYC, so any information would be greatly appreciated!

I will be in Manhattan on monday and my appts are at 2, 3, 4, and 5 pm.

Thanks!

If it is rush hour you're probably better off walking since there will be many cars. Off peak times it will be faster with a taxi. But since you said all locations are within a mile of each other, it'd be lazy not to just walk.

You can usually be safe saying it will take around 15 minutes to find a cab, get to your destination and pay. But around rush hour, there is no telling how long it will take.
