Walk as much as possible. ... by davhel
Walk as much as possible. Don't be afraid to turn down side streets, especially in Greenwich Village and the Lower East Side/Chinatown. Learn the grid for Mid-Manhattan -- avenues take you up (North) and down (South) Manhattan; streets East to West. The higher the number of the street the further uptown you are. The higher the number of the avenue, the further West you are. Broadway cut a diagonal across the island.Across the East River at least once in your trip. Don't be afraid to ride the subways.
