Hi NYers,

I’m vision New York (and America) for the first time and have a question about tipping at restaurants etc.

In London where I live usually our bills include a service charge of anywhere from 10-15% of the total bill. It is my understanding that this is effectively how we tip.

My question is will my bills in NYC have a service charge % added to them and if so is this enough to tip? Or would I pay the service charge and add a 20% tip on top?
Or if the service charge is 15% would I then add another 5% to the bill to make up 20% tip? Is 20% enough?

Thank you and looking forward to visiting!!
