If you mention the name Corine at any sushi restaurant in the city, you get a free glass of water.

If you wrap your arm around the subway bars as opposed to holding on with your hand you will get sick a lot less frequently.

Always have a bottle of Champagne in the refrigerator, and always take a taxi home from a party.

Also, don't look like you're trying to remember things you read in threads like this. Think about them at home, but don't be self conscious and calculating in public.

Don't pull out your genitalia in public and examine them no matter how much they burn!

Of course, there's always the counter-corollary to SNAFU's:
If you're genitalia are hot enough, feel free to pull them out in public.

In case you don't care to hear a five piece bongo drum selection, or doo wop singers who are off pitch, or a woman and her child asking for money, or a person who says they are homeless and loudly apologizes for disturbing you with their speech, or several teenagers screaming and laughing on top of their lungs, or friends who choose not to sit next to each other, but across the train and yell to each other, then make sure you have an ipod with charged battery on hand.

While the restaurants in NYC are amazing, it's totally fine to pack sandwiches or $3 frozen dinners from Trader Joe's for lunch. Or any meal, really.
If you choose to eat at a restaurant, don't eat somewhere with a C on the sanitary inspection. People will debate about a B rating, but a C is just disgusting.

Never let a stranger borrow your phone to make a call. It doesn't matter how much in need they appear to be or how nice a person you are. Chances are they will take that fancy smartphone of yours and run with it.
Also, no matter where you are, be careful when you do take out that fancy smartphone. I was walking toward Penn Station to get home one night, saw someone with their Iphone out checking something on it. All the while someone who was walking by tried to (in one motion) pull the iphone out of the guys hands. Lucky for the owner of the Iphone that the guy didn't succeed.
And,ghostlight you're an idiot. Just because you're listening to music rather than someone begging for money on the subway, does not automatically equate you loosing your phone. You can still listen to music and be aware of what's going on around you. Hell, the only way you're going to loose your fancy smartphone is if you don't keep it in a pocket or close to you if you're using it on the subway. If you wave it around for all to see, then yes, you're going to loose it. However, if you're discrete with it then chances are likely that you're going to walk out with your phone.

^ As for the person who used loose for lose each time they typed it, I wouldn't be calling someone else an idiot.

I was going to say use Craigslist for finding an apartment but I've heard mix reviews of doing that.
I will say learn about broker fee apartments and no-fee apartments, basically NYC apartments 101.

There is a big difference between making a typo as a result of typing to fast, and making a comment that makes you look stupid, uneducated and dumb.
Ghostlight constantly does just that, and should he wish to continue, I am going to start calling him out on it time and time again.

The problem is, I see too many times now people using lose or loose when they meant the other word. It's like people don't care anymore. And 1 typo I could accept. But 3 of the same in 1 paragraph, no.

Um yeah, you're forgetting that I didn't do anything wrong in my last post. And, the attitude you're using does nothing more than to show that you acting like a stuck up bitch. A personality trait that no one likes.

Oh well. Honestly, I didn't find Ghostlight's advice to be bad. Maybe just because something has not happened to you, doesn't mean it hasn't to others or won't ever happen to you.

I have a friend who is crashing in my den b/c the Craigslist deal he had for Jan 1 turned out to be a total scam. The dude "rented" the room to at least 10 different people, collected security deposits and skipped town.
Lesson: Make sure the person with whom you are dealing actually has a lease on the space. Get copies of their ID before you write any checks.

^ That's awful.
If you don't like to carry a ton of stuff at once, it is probably better to take frequent small trips to the grocery store. Not all apartment buildings have elevators and you also don't know how far you could be walking with all of that stuff.
