If you even look a little lost, someone will come over to ask if you need help or directions. And, they really mean it! They aren't there to rip you off or anything. I saw a barista loan her blackberry to a customer who was a perfect stranger in Bryant Park (where Fashion Week happens) so she could call her boyfriend whom she had misplaced!
The noise is deafening! It is all there, all the time: the roar of traffic, the squeal of tens of hundreds of bad brakes on a subway train, the roar of the train coming into the station, the honking, the talking, and the yelling. Surprisingly though, my son's neighborhood in Harlem was quiet at night, even though he lives near a large intersection.
Here are some pics of subway stations. Many have old tile walls that are quit charming under all that dirt. Grand Central Station (the station upstairs has been restored and is just beautiful)-
