Your Mom’s Basement is, it turns out, a movable feast. Look, they’re giving you a guide to New York in time for NYCC:
It never ceases to amaze how many people have lived in this city for years and have absolutely no concept of how to get around it. It’s very simple.
THERE’S A REASON WHY WE’RE NOT THE FATTEST CITY IN THE COUNTRY.
Walk. Seriously. You’re underground in a subway, stressed out in a car, not really paying attention from a cab. The best way to see the sights in the city is to get out there on foot and gawk. Walking is the best possible way to get around, assuming the trip is reasonable. One thing you MUST remember when wandering the city on foot: STAY TO THE SIDE OF THE SIDEWALK. Nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING irritates a New Yorker more than tourists meandering down the sidewalk, slack-jawed and staring up at the tall buildings, then randomly stopping in the middle of the sidewalk/street like they’re the only ones there. If you stop like that, prepare to get mowed down by at least three people who are walking close enough behind you to not be able to get out of the way.
