Observations and advice about New York City

Being here I've already observed some pretty strange things and found some advice that has helped. I thought I'd log it for myself and share them with you as well. The list will continue to grow....I'm sure. Add your thoughts, observations, and advice to help us all survive.

• Always carry something to read because you are going to have to wait for the bus, train, etc.
• It is like going back in time when it comes to places taking debit and credit cards. Ugh. Ugh. You have to have cash. I hate this.
  
• The subway trains come when they feel like it
• Rely on the buses on the weekends because they work on the subway lines
  
• The first week I saw everyone leaning and looking for their train in the subway. I thought, "Do they think they can make it come faster?" Just yesterday, I was doing it ;0).
• You know how sometimes you might see people in their cars singing to the radio, picking their noses, talking to themselves? Well, here, people just do that walking down the street or on the subway. Am I going to turn crazy too?
• Quiet is a relative term.
• Cheap is a relative term.
• Anything....I mean anything can be delivered
• Why are manicures and pedicures so cheap but everything else so expensive? Really a box of cereal is $6????
• Curb your dog????? What the crack?
• Good luck setting up your cable
• Buy some rain boots
• Don't honk $350 penalty. Can I write that ticket?
• Does Starbucks own New York?
• My roommate can hail a bus.
• You should try that restaurant. It is a little pricey. ;0) That's what everyone says!
