Absolutely.

New and old lessons I can share about NYC:

1. This place has seen everything. Don’t worry about it.
2. Nobody cares about your clothes, mannerisms, or dining preferences.
3. People here are not rude, just honestly indifferent. Nobody will feign interest to make you feel better.
4. Don’t know where you’re going? Get out of the way, then look at your phone.
5. Train platforms are smaller than the interior of the train you just left. KEEP MOVING.
6. Do NOT cross against the light. Drivers in NYC will remind you that it’s not your turn.
7. Eats are available for every budget. You may not like your options, but you won’t starve.
8. Lodging costs are also on a big spectrum. But you must learn how to spot bedbugs.
9. Do you like walking slow? Might want to “speedwalk” instead.
10. In general, do NOT be in anyone else’s way.
