Walking Rules: Walk fast!
  • Tip Rating:
  • When you are walking on the streets of Manhattan walk fast or you will disrupt traffic.

    Everyone is walking fast, fast, fast and stopping to gawk unless you are somehow able to step outside the stream of people going in your direction is totally unacceptable.
    My daughter told me to pretend I was a car and walk fast, fast, fast in the right lane of traffic.

    Local Customs: Hanging out at Washington Square
  • Tip Rating:
  • New York City - A fall afternoon at Washington Square.

  • Square.

  • Though it's been quite a few years since I was a college student, my heart is still there, and I immensely enjoyed hanging out for a couple hours at Washington Square in Greenwich Village (where an old friend lives) near NYU.
    Kids were performing; others were reading or sketching, soaking up the atmosphere in their own space; and the square was just full of young life. It seemed a slice of real life in NYC, and made me wish that I was a young college student there.

     Enjoyed your NYC pages. We too had too short a time and barely scratched the surface. Terrific writing.
