I came to New York yesterday!!

I'm planning to stay the city for about one month.
I don't know how I can enjoy New York life well, so please give me any advice.
And, feel free to meet with me if you live in New York because I want to make many friends here!
I live in Harlem, Manhattan now :)


Up to come here, I enjoyed travelling in Washington D.C. and Philadelphia.
With my girlfriend, we went to many museums and joined a couple free guide walking tours. Smithsonian Museums, which is in DC, are all free, so I really recommend you to visit them and spend a few days. In addition, if you join free guide tours as well, you can save so much money.

    You don't need the word "well" here. It is understood by the context of the sentence.

 
  • And, feel free to meet with me if you live in New York because I want to make many friends here!

  • And feel free to meet with me if you live in New York because I want to make many friends here!

    The comma after "and" isn't needed here.

    "With my girlfriend" is OK. But it sounds better as "My girlfriend and I"

 
  • Smithsonian Museums, which is in DC, are all free, so I really recommend you to visit them and spend a few days.

  • The Smithsonian Museums, which is in DC, is free, so I really recommend you to visit it and spend a few days.

    While the Smithsonian is made up of several different buildings it is still considered one museum so you don't need to make it plural.

    Either "of" or "for" works fine here. You can use either one! ^^

 

I'd like to visit New York sometime as well. I live in Washington State now (not DC) and visit California a lot since my parents live there.

Have fun in New York! Unfortunately I've never been there so I can't recommend anything... Perhaps someone else can help? ^^

If I have a chance, I want to visit Seattle and Vancouver, Canada. Oh, and I'm going to visit California this summer :)
Thank you!

I'm in Osaka now but I was living in Brooklyn, NY for two years before. I always went to St. Marks for Japanese food. My favorite areas also were Union Square and Bryant Park. If you like shopping I recommend SOHO. Enjoy!!
