770 etiquette

Dress modestly. Women and girls wear skirts below the knee and sleeves to the elbow; men and boys wear long pants and a kippah (available at the door). Women and girls sit upstairs; boys go downstairs with Dad. No phones or photos inside on Shabbat. Have the Uber drop you a block or two away.

Ohel (Cambria Heights)

The Lubavitcher Rebbe’s resting place is in Queens, not Crown Heights — a separate Friday Uber trip from the hotel (~45–60 min each way). Quiet, respectful visit; dress modestly. Open 24/7 per Chabad.org. Be back at the hotel before candle lighting (6:06 PM Fri).

Canal St

Bring cash, haggle (start at about half), keep phones and wallets in front pockets.

Diamond District

Browse freely; buy only with a GIA certificate. Ignore sidewalk hustlers steering you into stores.
