Hey, so Emma you know I live in the shadow of the most awesome city in the world. 
I've gone there a few times so I thought I'd give you guys some facts. If ya'll ever have questions just PM me and I'll ask my dad(he works there).
-Central Park can be a very nice place during the day, however it can be dangerous at night. So avoid taking a jog early in the morning or a stroll at night by yourself.
-People in NYC walk very fast, so just don't stand in the middle of the sidewalk, people won't appreciate it.
-It's easy to tell a tourist from a native, especially when their taking pics of everything in sight.(Once my dad told me that some tourists were taking a picture of a rat in the subway.)
-There's a lot of vendors spread about around the city, so it's pretty easy to get a bite to eat without having to enter a place. It's especially good when your on the go.
-Random fact, but there's a very LONG cemetery in Flushing Queens called Calvary Cemetery. It's kind of creepy.
-If you're going to be exiting the city(and the city is really Manhattan) bring some money with you because there is a toll.
That's all I could think of for now.
