Top 10 Rules for Walking the Streets of New York
1. Do not make eye contact.
2. Do not give way – stand your ground.
3. Give a wide berth to anyone with a camera or a map.
4. Give a wider berth to anyone with a fanny-pack around their waist.
5. Never be in a rush.
6. Instead of standing on the corner waiting for the light to change, advance into the street and wait for honking cabs before crossing.
7. If she’s in high heels, she’s going to avoid the subway grates – take evasive action.
8. 1 in 5 New Yorkers smokes. If you are at all sensitive to cigarette smoke, avoid office tower entrances.
9. Crank your iPod – the people you don’t want approaching you will leave you alone.
10. If you give any suggestion that you don’t know where you are going, you will be eaten.
