KOR looks like Jerry Smith & I can't unsee it.

A few things. NYC is an extremely walkable city. Don't be afraid to just walk around. And if you get lost & you want to confer with your fellow travelers, don't stop in the middle of the sidewalk. Just move off to the side. Depending on your schedule/plans, go to Central park, go to the 9/11 Memorial, walk around the Financial District, where all the early history of the city is. If you want to see the Statue of Liberty but don't want to spend a lot of time actually going to Liberty Island, just hop on the Staten Island Ferry. It's free and if you stand on the Starboard (right) side of the Ferry as it heads towards Staten Island, you'll see the Statue, then turn right back around & catch the Ferry back to Manhattan. Walk around inside Grand Central. If you go to museums & you see that the admission price is "suggested", then pay what you like, not the posted price. If you want to eat authentic ethnic food, you'll have to go to the outer boros (There are spots in Manhattan, but they aren't nearly as plentiful as they are in the outer boros). Little Italy & parts of Chinatown cater to tourists, and may not be as authentic as you'd like. Flushing for Chinese/Korean, Arthur Ave in the Bronx for Italian, Jackson Heights for Indian & Central/South American, Astoria for Greek. NYC is loud & crowded. It's also fast, since everyone has somewhere to be, even if they really don't. Depending on where you're from, it may be overwhelming. But you adjust right away. And the myth that New Yorkers are rude is just that, a myth. Chances are that if you run into someone who's a complete asshole, that person is most likely from somewhere else. Moving to NYC lets them be the asshole they couldn't be in their hometown. Will everyone smile & say hi? No. But you just don't have the time to do so. Common courtesy still works here. Thank You & Please go a long way. That said, enjoy your trip. Oh, and carry an umbrella. Summer thunderstorms happen quick & hard here.

Brock's description of Punk was spot on to me.
