if you’re there to work, get there before 9am as seats fill up quickly

tips & tricks
for visiting/living
it takes serious energy just to travel places – live close to the important things, like friends, a subway stop, and a grocery store
unless you live by a park, you will have to make a concerted effort to visit nature for your well-being/to stay sane 🙃
if you have a New York Public Library card, you can get free entry to places like The Met, MoMA, The Cloisters with Culture Pass
go to todaytix.com for deals on Broadway and Off-Broadway shows
figuring out where you want to live in NYC is an exercise in tradeoffs and knowing who you are and what you want
