Traveling to NYC from London tomorrow. Any tips of United States culture?
-
I've never been to the states before and I wondering if anyone could give me some tips or tricks about differences in culture between the UK and US? I'll be staying in New York City for three weeks, traveling with my husband, who has also never been abroad. Thank you!

Answer:
Would it not make sense to post this in the NY section, so New Yorkers can answer?

New York is unlike anywhere else in the US. If you are staying in Manhattan, remember that all the streets are numbered. Avenues run north and south and streets run east and west. The farther north you go the higher the street numbers. The farther west you go the higher the avenue numbers. Sixth Avenue has been renamed Avenue of the Americas. Broadway runs diagonally north to south. New Yorkers are used to tourists and are notoriously unfriendly, however this has changed since 9/11. New York is arguably the most cosmopolitan city in the US. In general, Americans like Brits.
