Android phones give excellent walking and public transit directions with their built-in GPS.

Bring really comfortable shoes and enjoy! You’ll have lots of fun.

If you are downtown, walk to the river and check out the park alongside Battery Park City on the river. Stuyvesant High School is at the northern end of it and the kids there go out for lunch. Pace University is just south of the Brooklyn Bridge. NYU has dorms and classrooms downtown. Columbia U. has a beautiful open quad just east of Broadway.

You’ll have no trouble finding people to hang out with, including lots of teen tourists. So even if you don’t meet up with someone you know, you’ll find it easy to meet other young people to explore the city.
