Don't drive.

In New York, it isn't very practical to have a car. The best thing to do is to ride the subway's (you will get used to the smell after a while), ride a bus or if worst comes to worst catch a cab. The good thing is that if you miss your bus, there is another one that will come and get you. A place that you should stay on the look out for is Time square. There are a ton of restaurants and stores, It's pretty crowded but that adds to the attraction. While walking around in New York you will hear all sorts of languages. The main 6 languages that are spoken in New York are, Spanish, Chinese, Russian, Korean, Italian and French, Creole but trust me when I say that there are many more languages spoken. New York City is 468 sq miles; that's a lot of languages in that amount of space.
