In my story I have my mc who was raised in England and basically moves to New Your City and I don’t want to miss represent New York/Americans (I’m not American). If you know a bit about New York or live in New York, I would be very grateful if you could share your experience in/info on the city.
I’m not asking for a big chunk of writing. Maybe some 1 or 2 fun fact from one person?
Here are some things I would like specifically but anything would be good.
culture
any phrases that only New Yorkers know that would have to be explained to an outsider
accent
any experiences about having a job at aged 20 - 30
new york has 5 main regions (boroughs): manhattan, brooklyn, staten island, the bronx, and queens
new york has a very diverse community
in general, new york has a high crime rate, but especially in brooklyn, the bronx, and queens
it’s a common saying that the pizza in new york is the best but that’s controversial haha
( i’d also like to mention that i’m not from new york, but i am close with someone who lives there, i’d recommend doing your own personal research )
