Hello everyone!

I'm from London originally and just moved to New York for a job opportunity. Was curious if you know any online tools/services/websites that would help me get familiar with the city faster as all I experience right now is the same job-home routine...

I did some research found websites like Walkscore and PlaceILive.

I like the second one more since it provides tons of information I was curious about when I moved in - bus shops near my house, bakeries, farmers markets etc. Apparently they even have some neat maps with various demographic metrics, safety rates or internet speed across the city's neighborhoods (was interesting to know more about my neighborhood in Brooklyn). I loved this predominant ethnicity map across neighborhoods of New York. I mean, before moving here I knew that the city is as diverse as London, but didn't imagine to what extent....

Anyway, please share what services you used/articles you read to understand New York when you moved in? It would even better if you could share your personal experience and tips with me as well... That would help me a lot!
 
Hi, Hope you doing well.
In the meantime what you can do is you can visit...New York City comprises 5 boroughs sitting where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic Ocean. At its core is Manhattan, a densely populated borough that’s among the world’s major commercial, financial and cultural centers. Its iconic sites include skyscrapers such as the Empire State Building and sprawling Central Park. Broadway theater is staged in neon-lit Times Square.
 
New York is a wonderful place where you can live very easily. The atmosphere here is very good and in terms of beauty, it is very cute. You can live for a long time in this city without hesitation.
 
You can visit many more places and become familiar with them. When you are traveling in New York, you will need some places to get away to spend your weekends.
Wilmington is the second smallest state in America, but there is plenty to do in Wilmington. This location is near the Christina River and is a popular weekend getaway for residents of Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and New York City due to its tourist attractions.

These are the most popular things to do in Wilmington.
On the Riverwalk, take in the scenery and grab a bite to eat.
