Your New York Source

Sometimes it seems like New Yorkers think they know everything, from the fastest and best way to get around and explore this bustling city to the absolutely best things to do in a city that offers thousands of choices of shows, restaurants, museums, tours and, yes, doesn't sleep. “Aggressively helpful” is one way to put it. (Some – not us – would just say just “aggressive”.)

Look at it this way: There’s no way not to live and breathe the energy emanating from more than 8 million residents and estimated 50 million more tourists – not to mention all the cars, subways, buses and bicycles – most densely concentrated in the 23 square miles of Manhattan. Viewed thusly, the amount of charity expressed daily is kind of remarkable, don’t you think? There’s obviously room for improvement on everyone’s part. Locals might do better to show more patience and graciousness for those visiting and supporting our amazing city. And visitors might do well to not stop, four across, on a crowded Midtown street at 5pm to stare up at the (beautiful, we know) skyline.

Perhaps we should all agree, here and now, that what brings us to New York – to live or to visit – is largely the same thing: the unbelievable diversity of everything (including and especially, all of you good people). Where else can you go from seeing an amazing Broadway show to congregating around an awe-inspiring hip hop performance in a subway station in a matter of minutes? And for all the crowds in Times Square, in what other city could you take a 10-minute walk to nearby Central Park and be in one of the most peaceful places on Earth? Also, you seriously need to hop on a double-decker bus or cruise around New York Harbor on a boat tour. Seeing the city from a whole new vantage point is a pretty great way to avoid getting jaded, regardless of where you come from or why you’re here.
