So, you’ve found a place to live in crazy, lovable New York City, and you’ve got everything in order: your electricity has been turned on, your cable and internet service has been installed and maybe you’ve even got your dog and cat acclimatised without too much yapping and mewing. Take a breath and explore your neighbourhood, from supermarkets, parks, and local eateries, to the nearest movie theatres and homeware stores, or perhaps locate your nearest public library, one of the Big Apple’s best free assets. After that, you’ll not be far off becoming a real local.
