Safey
New York is a very safe city in in which you have to be aware of pickpockets (like in all the cities).
I think you should avoid going at night to the bronx.
Policeman are totally reliable
Getting around I believe that the best way to know the
city is the underground, because is cheap, fast and it contamines less than a taxi. I dont recommend you a bike because there aren’t facilities. And taxis are expensive. You can use some skyscapers to orientate
Sightseeing
You have to visit three land marks: Central Park, the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building
American Museum of Natural History and Metropolitan Museum of Art which both are brilliant and free.
I think you would enjoy going to Broadway and to Times Square at night
Local custom
I think you dont have to be dress in a particular way to enter in the worship, and also you can talk of whatever you want with local people.
The tip for waiters is a 5%of the dinner bill. And the one you like in a taxi
Shopping
The best place is the 5th avenue. There a lot of shops where you cant haggle
You must visit the Soho and Chinatown market, where you can haggle quite a lot.
Food and drink
Tap water is drinkable in all the city. I think you must try cupcake and
chesecake and the american breakfast, avoiding fatteing mcdonals food
AND HAVE FUN!!!
