You should pack shit in your mouth so that you smell better.

Take only Yellow Cab from Airports, ignore annoying limo drivers. Otherwise it will cost you twice.
You probably know it is legal to catch a cabs in NY on streets, just raise your hand. But some drivers are crazy and don't speak English well. Don't buy hot dogs from people who handles cash and your hotdog with bare hands at same time.

Is it illegal somewhere?

Be a man, take the subway. :pimp

Subways are perfectly fine. Seriously crime in Manhattan is very low. Like any city anywhere in the world, if you walk with purpose, and look like you know where you are going, any petty criminals will leave you alone. If you stand around with your head up in the air gawping around like a hayseed tourist, then there is the potential that a pick pocket or purse snatcher might take a try. Same goes for anywhere in the world.

Try John's Pizza at 278 Bleecker St, New York, NY 10014 Fricken amazing.

There are a million things to do in NY, museums are fantastic, plenty of great food, all kinds of sights. You could spend 2 weeks there and not have enough time.


Enjoy!


.

The best thing to do is get a 2 day pass on the hop-on hop-off bus. It will take you all over town to see the sights. Also best way to see statue of Liberty and such without paying or waiting on a big line is to take a free round trip on the Staten Island Ferry.
