What is the coolest thing to do in New York City?
And what is your favourite New York moment?
ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: Avoid the tourist stuff, like Broadway or hip clubs. The best times can be had by soaking up the ambiance, say, in ethnic neighborhoods in outlying boroughs. Try taking the Staten Island Ferry. Watch the other ships go by. Enjoy the subway, especially when it goes over the junctions and the lights flicker off and on and it makes a lot of clickity clack noises. Very sensuous. AP isn’t much of a world traveller (I’m stuck answering these questions), but a good New York moment (I guess you’d call it that) was when I walked into the the 6th floor walkup I was staying in for the weekend (a friend of a friend sort of thing) and saw the bathtub in the middle of the room (living room / dining room / kitchen).
