Here’s a disputable list of 10 Things Not to Do in New York City. I disagree with about half of their suggestions, especially with the advice to avoid pedicabs. Because one of my best city stories comes from being in a pedicab in the rain at midnight in the theater district: A car pulled up alongside us at a streetlight and the driver rolled down his window and seemed pretty excited to encounter a pedicab in Manhattan. This is the best thing I’ve ever seen, he said. Fantastic, he yelled at us through the rain. The pedicab driver leaned over and asked him: So, where are you from? The Lower East Side! he said.
While I can't claim any expertise, I generally agreed with their San Francisco list (especially their suggestion to eat at Ton Kiang).
