Rule number one about New York City: Everything takes longer than you think it will! I can't emphasize that enough. Most people visiting the city for the first time, try to schedule too many things to do.

Ask a local - a New Yorker! So you’re having difficulty figuring out where you are or how to get where you want to go or even where to eat. Just ask a New Yorker. New Yorkers tend to be very nice and very helpful!

Seriously, tour books don’t direct you to the Real New York. You will end up going to all the places that other tourists go to! That’s my opinion of course.
