New York is iconic — but also surprising.
1. It’s bigger than you imagine. Walking everywhere isn’t realistic.
2. The subway runs 24/7. But it can be confusing at first.
3. Central Park is huge. You can spend an entire day there.
4. Not everything is in Manhattan. Brooklyn and Queens are worth exploring.
5. Food is incredibly diverse. You can eat around the world in one neighbourhood.
6. Tipping culture matters. Budget 18–20%.
7. Free attractions exist. Staten Island Ferry = free skyline views.
8. It’s loud — but energising.
