Since you are reading this article, you must be planning a wonderful trip to the fantastic and exciting state of New York. This particular article will enable you to have a safe and fun trip that will not cost you time and money if you take heed of these laws.

Men, if you are planning on visiting the quaint town of Carmel, they have a very strict clothing law that states that your jacket and pants must match if you are going to be outside. (Well this should be a law everywhere, isn't this like wearing socks with sandals)

Ladies, great news about New York, you can go topless in public, except if you are using your breasts for business purposes, then of course, you have to keep your top on, or if you are traveling on the subway, as men also have to wear tops there. Now if you decide you want to opt for clothing, you cannot wear anything that is tight fitting at any time. In retrospect you have two choices of clothing, topless or baggy, there is no in between.

Now there is a very quiet little town called Green. It is recommended that you visit here on a Sunday, when you have a chance, but do not by any means walk backwards, while eating peanuts when a concert is playing in the park. The legal fees alone will be horrendous.

Now men this is a very true law, you are not allowed at anytime to flirt or even leer at a woman while in New York, if you are caught, you will be charged a $25 fine and will be forced to spend the rest of your trip with blinders on. So be careful with that one.

Now when enjoying all the sights and sounds of the Great State of New York and you are partying like it was 1999 again, make sure that you DO NOT jump out of any windows as the punishment for this is DEATH. Yes I double checked this one for you.

If you follow my legal advice from above you will be sure to have the trip of of life time, so ENJOY.
