For equipment, the Cash Cab has ten cameras: one on the host, three on the passengers, one pointing forward from the back window of the cab, and three (front, left, and right) in the advertising shell on the roof of the cab. The rear of the cab behind the seats contains ten recording decks with a tower containing a countdown timer.
Near the end of the game player's destination Ben Bailey appears to present the cash won. In reality, this cash is a prop and used for on-air purposes only. The winnings must be taxed and are sent via check.

Depends on your taste. If you're around at the right time, you can catch a Dave Letterman taping (they sometimes fill in the audience with people walking along the sidewalks in front of the theater), head over to the TKTS booth on certain days to get discounted tickets to many different shows if you're into that. There's also awesome comedy clubs, Knicks games if you're up for a laugh, being it's spring break there'll probably be some street performers out if the weather's alright. Toys 'R' Us is worth at least a visit. Museum of Natural History's pretty awesome and they offer a bunch of different cool shit to do. Several other museums you could visit, obviously. Go find a hooker one night and spend some time doing what you'd probably planned on.
Any number of things can be done in the city if you've got money.
If you don't have money, there's some shit to do too. Google it I guess.
Best thing I did while in New York was go to a jazz club. It was called Fat Cat and it was cool. That might have been because my brother is really into music but it was awesome none the less.

Did Tobey Maguire dance on the bar for you?
No but I was there late, I must have just missed him.

Jazz clubs sound awesome, I'll search around and find some good ones.
Museums sound good, too.
Isn't there that giant Nintendo store in NYC?
I've forgotten the specifics, but the contestants go out to a certain location for a survey or something and are told they need to take a cab from there to another specific location. Basically, the contestants are known before the ride (they don't know it's the cash cab though) and the route they'll be taking is pre-decided.

OH MY GOD
is this actually surprising to you
HERE SHOW OFF A WAD OF CASH IN UPTOWN MANHATTAN
Significantly safer county than most, if not all suburbs!
Also, fight the power of the Capitalist war machine with Fari and hang out with the rest of us NYC PAers dogg.
But seriously, take a day and go up to E79th and 5th ave and check out the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's got everything from oil on canvas to furniture to weapons to a preserved Egyptian temple. It's radtastic. Plus the weather is starting to get nicer.
the met is cool
so is the MoMA
the MoMA is near the german sausage cart
the german sausage cart is amazing because the cart dudes are from berlin and they make that shit good
and no, i do not mean the sausages of those dudes are good, i mean they serve delicious authentic german sausage of many varieties
MoMA is also near the chicken and rice stand at night
and by the i mean THE because there are many imposters, but there is one good one that is jizz in your pants delicious
chocolate chip with walnuts, a suitemates mother made a bunch and sent them to her and she shared them
if you put it in right when the oatmeal is super hot the entire cookie dissolves
shit is like what cookie crisp would be like if it was good and hot and oatmeal

yes, yes, that is the despair that feeds me

I was like what the fuck is wrong with you people. Why are you going into a chain pizza joint when you're in New Fucking York.
Did Tobey Maguire dance on the bar for you?
Satans..... hints.....
No but I was there late, I must have just missed him.
It is the only city with a 100% murder rate.
I am sucking it up.
I'm asking dudes if they know any fun things to do by myself.
I'm not asking for emotional support
Jazz clubs sound awesome, I'll search around and find some good ones.
Museums sound good, too.

Damn, now I'm getting pretty excited about this.
it's pretty lame
e: to Kaz
e: it's cold, bring a jacket

i mean it's more space devoted to nintendo than i've seen anywhere else
as in
girl from sydney
who had never been to ny
did not know anyone in ny
had nothing lined up in ny
hopped on a plane to ny by herself and there she stayed
As it is, I'm scared of being by myself in a strange setting for two weeks.
I admire people like her.
you're out a girlfriend as it is
shes asian with an australian accent
cant be too hard to spot
i think she lives in brooklyn
is new jersey really an island
Aw snap. Which areas should I avoid at night? Is Brooklyn one of them?
so nobody can tell you're a tourist

there are tons of great museums for one thing
then there's the UN tours if you're into that
New York is a very easy place to navigate and there's always shit to do
We aren't.

I can give great hugs.
