Answer 4

Lots of places actually. Street vending is all over Manhattan, especially in Midtown to Downtown.
I'd say that Chinatown is one of the most lively. You will also find lots of street vendors along Central Park. Now that Ground Zero has become such a tourist attraction, there are a lot of street vendors there.
Another place to look is Orchard Street on the Lower East Side.

Answer 5

New York is like any other city and not all good and its differently not all bad. Before you come to new york go the internet and type (new york street fairs) in the search slot. You will have so much fun, its so cool and the food is awesome or you can come to Harlem and goto 116th to the African market where the have bags for days as well as Canal street. I Hope You Have a Great Time Visiting My New York . Try to remember our street is just as safe as yours.

Answer 6

Hit Canal Street and the rest of Chinatown. You can pick up some stuff in Battery Park and in mid town on most streets, but Chinatown is the best.

Answer 7

i personally hate chinatown. its full of tourists. same thing with midtown.

def hit up washington square park, even if your not looking for weed, you'd definitly get a kick out of it. walk around the east village, theres a lot of cutesy little boutiques and cafes there.
my favorite part of the city is the upper west side. very earthy, good for the afternoons if you want to do (light) shopping and have lunch. try broadway from 60th-72nd. explore.

after hours, the only place to be is downtown. hit up Misshapes (misshapes.com), Club Stereo, Pasteis, Balthazar.

Answer 8

New York City is very very safe. Now if you are looking for weed, Washington Square Park by NYU is a good start.
