I'm not a New Yorker, but I visit this city enough to not be called a "tourist". I'm not sure if this place has been mentioned before, but there's a huge segment of the Berlin Wall in a small park on 53rd St between 5th and Madison Ave.The Cloisters is a museum on the West Side located way up near 190th St. It features a large part of John Rockefeller's medieval art collection and features around 1,900 different exhibits. It is not a "secret" per se, but definitely worth a visit, if only to see the scenery of the Hudson and surrounding area (George Washington Bridge etc). I felt like I was somewhere in Europe while I was there yesterday. It is not on the typical tourist's map, which makes it better since its away from all the hustle. Prosperity Dumpling, ChinatownWith 1,200 reviews on Yelp, this place is definitely not a secret, but I doubt non-New Yorkers would know of this place. It is a hole-in-the-wall located in the heart of Chinatown, and serves delicious pork and chives dumplings at an extremely inexpensive price of $1.00 for 5 of them. My personal favorite is the Chicken Sesame Pancake, which costs around $2.50 per pancake. They also sell dumplings in bulk, which I imagine is at a cheaper per-unit rate than the retail price of 12.5¢ per dumpling. Its a great place to go to when you don't feel like spending 10 bucks on a lunch in NYC. DUMBO in Brooklyn (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, right near the Brooklyn Bridge) features one of the most beautiful views of Manhattan, and is a great place to walk around and explore for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan The "real" Halal Guys cart (53rd and 6th) only comes after 8pm. The others are just knock-offs.Even though tickets are sold out months in advance, you can become a part of the Saturday Night Live studio audience if you're willing to go to 30 Rockefeller at 7am for standby tickets. If you signNow there in time, you will most probably be able to become a part of the studio audience.The Jersey City Waterfront features some of the most spectacular views of the Manhattan skylineBelvedere Castle in Central Park (mid-park at 79th st) has an observation deck which offers beautiful views of Central Park and Manhattan. Speaking of Central Park, Strawberry Fields is John Lennon's memorial spread over 2.5 acres I haven't done this yet, but "Shakespeare In The Park" in the Delacorte Theater in Central Park is quite an experience. It is a free presentation of some of Shakespeare's most famous plays. It runs in the months of June and July every year. Best part is that tickets are free and are distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis.Shakespeare in the Park's performance of Romeo and Juliet Ice cream, milkshake and milk flavored like the milk that remains after you eat Kelloggs cereal, only at Momofuku Milk Bar in East Village (and other locations!)milkbarstore.comSeven Hills Cafe at 849 Manhattan Ave, Brooklyn serves the best hookah in New York City. Priced at only $10 per hookah (with the $5 Yelp check-in coupon), it features every imaginable flavor, great service (albeit a little slow) and lip-smackingly amazing Turkish and Lebanese food. That's all I can think of for now. I'll add more "secrets" as and when they come to mind.

Get yourself Metrocards. They work in the Subways and on the buses. Each ride is about $2.75. However, you can transfer from bus to subway, bus to bus, Subway to Subway, or Subway to bus for free.When I take people around for two days, I typically start with the Statue of Liberty. First boat goes out at 8:30 a m. Do not talk to sidewalk ticket agents. At best, they will sell you the $19 ticket for $25, with a commission. At worst, thousands last year paid for boat trips that did not go to the Statue of Liberty, after being told by street ticket agents that it would.From the statue, it's a short walk to either the financial district or World Trade Center Memorial. (We don't call it Ground Zero anymore.)After that, I walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn Heights, with its beautiful 150-year-old houses, including those that housed Arthur Miller, Norman Mailer, Truman Capote and WH Auden. Stop at the Brooklyn Heights Promenade with a 15 km or 10 Mile view of the city and the harbor.This takes us to lunch the first day.Contact me if you want to learn the rest of this two-day itinerary. I'm always looking for another day of work!

Wow. That is hard to describe. First of all, it is incredibly expensive. My husband and I live in a 650 square foot apartment in Chelsea, which is a neighborhood in Manhattan, and we pay $4,000 a month rent. This rent is typical in much of Manhattan, unless you rent in a four story walkup. There are lower rents in Harlem, but that is starting to change.It’s loud. Noise is everywhere. The traffic, beeping horns, the subway trains, sirens, loud people. It takes a while to adapt.Work. It's a hard working city. Many people put in very long hours, whether to make those large corporate and law firm salaries or working three jobs just to get by. It makes the city incredibly busy and focused.Diversity. Well over 800 languages are spoken here, and the dress, habits and food are from almost every world culture. As a gay man, I feel safer here than anywhere I've ever lived.Speaking of safety, NYC is the safest large city in the US and one of the safest large cities in the world. I walk around Manhattan, from Harlem to the Financial District, anytime night or day, and have never felt unsafe.It's a walking city. We don't own cars, and if we can't walk we use the trains. $2.75 and you can go anywhere, even to the beach. I ride trains almost every day. Crowded and not a great system compared to European systems, but it goes everywhere.You entertain out in the city. People do not have friends “over” very often, because apartments are so small. You meet in restaurants, bars, parks, etc.Oh, and the parks. Union Square. Washington Square, little Stuyvesant Park, Madison Square, the list is long and they are wonderful places to stop and rest and be entertained. And of course, Central Park. What's not to like? You can spend a whole Sunday afternoon there walking and eating and going to the zoo and being entertained for free.The weather is changeable, and there is snow in winter and humidity in the summer. But Spring and Fall are delightful. There are flowers everywhere and the breeze off the Hudson River in my neighborhood is sweet.Water. Rivers, beaches, long strolls along the seaport. Seagulls. NYC is surrounded by water.Food. It's the best. From food trucks to fine dining, you can find about everything here.Culture. Incredible museums (MOMA, Natural History, the Met, Whitney… ), you could never see it all. Wonderful small galleries. Opera, symphony, dance. And of course Broadway. Theater is just extraordinary. And the libraries: some are architectural gems as well as storehouses of knowledge.I’ve lived in Charlotte, DC, Philadelphia and several smaller towns. But nothing (in this country) compares to NYC. I retired here (no Florida or resort condo for me), and I wake up every morning feeling incredibly fortunate to live here. And, yes, I do realize this answer is Manhattan-centric. And there are four more exciting and dynamic boroughs (well, maybe Staten Island’s not exciting!). But, it's what I know.A word of advice: don't ever forget the expensive part. It’s best to have a job in hand when you come to live here, and expect to work hard. I am fortunate to be retired, but most people work very hard to live here. Cheers!

Walking in might work, but you also run the risk of inconveniencing someone while their working. However, let's say you go for it, have you thought about what questions will I be asked at an interview for a restaurant job? Visit this link to get yourself prepared for what is surely to come your way whether at your impromptu or official interview. Having some prepared answers can make the process run more smoothly which will give you confidence and probably result in a job.

March in New York is always a crapshoot and this year, we're as likely to have summery temps as we are to have a (third) blizzard. I'll split the answer between indoor and outdoor activities to give you some options either way. Indoor:The Metropolitan Museum of Art - great, historic collection of work.The Cloisters - a collection of actual European cloisters shipped over in the 30's by Rockefeller. Not something you're going to see everywhere.Chelsea Market - if you are interested in food, this is a great place to graze on locally produced and artisanal foodsKatz's Deli - Legendary pastramiBalthazar - I second. It's profoundly well known at this point, but still a fun experience.Fatty Cue - in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Asian inflected barbecue. Think hickory smoke and fish sauce. It's a thing to behold.Brooklyn Bowl - it's a bowling alley, music venue and a restaurant serving food by Blue Ribbon, one of the better restaurants in town. The fried chicken is amazing and, again, it's not a combination you're going to find elsewhere.Outdoor:Staten Island Ferry - I second this as well. It's free and gets you a great view of the harbor, the Statue of Liberty and the skyline from the south. Not necessarily where you want to be in a snow storm though.Brooklyn Bridge - again, I second. It's iconic. It gets crowded, but it's worth it to walk across and back.Washington Square Park - The heart of Greenwich Village. It's historic and with renovations nearly complete, it's a lot nicer than it's been in years.Central Park - Cold or warm, a must visit.The Pond at Bryant Park - If you ice skate, this beats the rink in the park or at Rock Center. It's free and isn't swamped with as many tourists since it's not as well known.The Highline - a long abandoned rail line on the west side of Manhattan, recently renovated into one of the best designed parks I've ever seen. A block from Chelsea Market, if you go that way.For more on interesting and unique New York (Brooklyn in particular), see Sam Sifton's recent 36 Hours in Brooklyn piece in the NY Times.

I've lived in NYC for 16 years, and it's the best place I've ever lived. Many New Yorkers feel that way, but many also had a very hard time their first year here. It seems to take about that long to feel secure. Once I was with a group of people, and I asked, "How many of you thought you were going to have a nervous breakdown your first year, here?" Almost everyone raised their hands. The ones who didn't either grew up here or moved from other large cities, like London or Chicago.I don't say that to scare you, and, remember, all of us have come to adore the city, to feel like real New Yorkers, and to think of NYC as our home.But given how hard it is to get started here, my advice is to do everything you can to build a safety net for yourself. It was really scary watching my money seep away, realizing that if I didn't find a job soon, I'd be homeless. New Yorkers are friendly people, but random strangers with small apartments are not likely to let you sleep on their sofas.Come here with as much money as you can save up. A super-cheap apartment might cost you $1,000 a month. Riding the subway is over $100 a month; food is expensive ... If you have friends who live here, or if you make friends quickly, there may be a big income gap between them and you at first -- not because they're rich (though they may be), but because they've been earning NYC salaries and you haven't. They may (without thinking) pressure you to go out on the town with them. This city is a money hole. Don't let your desire to socialize impoverish you!If my wife and I go out to eat at a semi-nice restaurant and each get appetizers, a main course, a couple of drinks, and desert, we can easily wind up with a $180 check. Beware!It can be hard to make friends here. If you don't already have an in, you'll have to make it happen. Don't expect people to just befriend you. Start volunteering, joining groups (e.g. use http://meetup.com), and so on. If you have good friends who already live here, don't start to hate them if they don't invite you over all the time or continually make plans with you. New Yorkers tend to have busy, filled lives.It's a major pain to travel from one part of the city to another, especially if the two locations are far apart, so pop-in visits rarely happen. I live in Brooklyn, and a very good friend of mine lives in the Bronx. For one of us to visit the other, we'd be talking about three hours of commuting time on the subway (there and back). In fact, I've never even seen his apartment, and he's only been to mine a couple of times -- in 16 years! When we meet up, it's planned, and it's somewhere between us. This is pretty common in NYC. Most people don't just "come over." They make plans to meet.Do you have someone you can stay with while you look for a place to live? It might take you two weeks or a month to find a place. Do you have someone you can stay with for that long? (Note: if you don't, try http://airbnb.com. They have some good deals.)A lot of newbies come to the city with very little cash and feel they have to live in Manhattan. They feel they're somehow not "real" New Yorkers unless they live on the island. So they plunge themselves into debt, renting absurdly expensive apartments they can't afford.Do yourself a favor and look to Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island and Brooklyn (or even nearby parts of New Jersey, some of which have quicker access to Manhattan than parts of the boroughs).Real New Yorkers respect those places just as much as they do Manhattan. My wife and I have lived in Brooklyn our entire time here. It's great. We live in Brooklyn and work in Manhattan. And we've come to love our borough so much, we'd stay here even if we were millionaires. (Note some parts of the outer boroughs are as expensive as Manhattan! Shop around!)If you live way out in Queens or wherever, you'll have a long commute (assuming you work in Manhattan). I'll tell you a secret: New Yorkers complain about the subway, but most of us love it. I have an hour of reading time every day. I can't get work done on the subway, so it's an excuse to get lost in a good book. Some use that time to play video games or listen to music. And it's awesome for people watching.NYC has about two temperate months a year. The rest of the time, it's freezing or boiling. Bring appropriate clothes. Bring layers.Expect New Yorkers to be friendly but in a hurry. We'll absolutely help you with directions or whatever you need to know, but get to the point. We're not big on pleasantries or idle chitchat with strangers. Just ask, "How do I get to 8th Avenue from here?" and lots of people will help you. Skip, "Hi. I'm from Texas, and I'm wondering ... " because as much as we want to help you, we're late for work.Have your metrocard out before you get to the turnstile; have your credit card out before you get to the checkout line; know what kind of coffee you want before you talk to the barista. We're all crowded together here, and we're committed to making things run as smoothly as we can. Most New Yorkers are efficient and good at keeping out of each-others' ways.Tips:- Houston Street is pronounced House-stun Street, not Hyooston Street.- New Yorkers tend to avoid the touristy places, like Times Square: too many slow-moving gawkers. So don't invite your New Yorker friends to meet you there.- Barnes and Nobles have bathrooms in them.- Unless you're a party animal, stay home New Years Eve and Saint Patrick's Day.- Don't trust anyone on a bicycle. (Sorry, cyclists, I know some of you obey traffic laws. But many of you, don't.)- If you're trying to hail a yellow cab, limo drivers will try to lure you into their black cars. Know that this will cost you a lot more than the cab will.

If it's street fairs and such that you're interested in, there's NYC.gov - Things to DoSCHEDULE New York City Street Fairs and FestivalsNew York City Street Fair Calendar | 2013 New York City Holiday Events, Shows and FairsBut let me be blunt here: Why aren't your friends telling you about the cool stuff is going on? Why do you have to find out about them doing these things after they've already done them? Do you not keep in touch with them very well? Do they not like you very much?New York City is huge, as you know. There are tons of cool things going on all over the place, every day. There isn't going to be a central resource that lists everything. If you can't rely on your friends to invite you along to hang out (and this is an issue all on its own,) and this is what social networks are for. Figure out what interests you, whether it be music, food, museums, arts, sports, whatever. Then find the specific social networking resources that focus on that. Voila, a reliable notification service.

"Culture eats strategy for breakfast!" - Peter Drucker4 suggestions related to socio-cultural dimensions. Probably not where you want to start out, capacity building would be a better focus, but something to consider and plan for sooner than later. "How to engage with City Staff" tech training info for *both* tech-innovator citizens and city staff on how to work together on Open Gov tech projects. Speaking from my experience with city staff on http://fixcity.org, I found that the biggest bottleneck to civic innovation is informing & training of civil staff about OpenGov concepts. OpenGov needs to become part of the civil employee culture. This is a new interdependent virtuous cycle type of relationship between citizens & city staff that many excellent city staff veterans are not used to. Behind great tech are great ways of working with people to do it.Add qualified social/anthro ethnographic tech researchers to city staff.Since many civic tech projects are social tools about social life in this city huge quality improvements could be made with wise understanding of Urban dwellers & tech. Who to hire? Start with Keith N. Hampton at U Penn. See his research on "The Social Life of Wireless Urban Spaces" and PEW reports. The city's investment in research entrepreneurs often can't afford, for social human understanding technologists are often not aware of would be a great service. These researchers could also provide the best approach for success measurement. Keith's site. http://www.mysocialnetwork.net/ I can also recommend others.Weave in human-centered Placemaking approaches and assessments for projects related to actual places in NYC. What is Placemaking? http://www.pps.org/placemaking/a...Work with Meetup.com to learn best strategies to encourage bringing people together face to face in the places they care about. This must be key. As Douglas Rushkoff simply put it, digital media have an inherent bias towards dislocation-- using dislocation technology for local connection has a built-in trap. The solution? Use it to get people to meet together.
