All the good things in the city have been ruined by tourists — crowds, high prices… why don’t we charge tourist tax for visitors like other cities. The mayor is trying to raise money right.

NYC captures tourist spending through a layered set of hotel occupancy taxes and per-night fees that function similarly to a tourist tax in practice.

Hotel-related taxes and fees:

-NYC Hotel Occupancy Tax: ~5.875%
-NY Sales Tax on hotel rooms: 8.875%
-Hotel Unit Fee: $2.00 per night
-Javits Center Fee: $1.50 per night (applies citywide to hotel stays)
-Destination fee: typically $30–$50 per night, plus sales tax on that fee.

The city has been ruined by Hochul Adams and now Mamdani. Can’t believe the residents of NYC voted Mamdani in.
Hope you’re all happy

I recently joined Swiss Re at 30lpa, pretty good manager and work culture. Got a hike of 10% in 3 months without me asking for it. But got an offer from another company which I was interviewing for before joining here and they are offering a base of 45lpa. Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?
