#Find a friend in the city. If you know someone there, you will more than likely be able to crash with them for a week or two, which is enough time to let you get to know both the neighborhood in which they live and your prospective next neighborhood. If they're nice, they'll provide you a place room-and-board free, but be careful, there may be other prices (work for them in exchange for stay, sleep in small quarters, you get the picture). If they are good friends they'll do all of these things cost-free.[[Image:Wander New York City Without Looking Like a Tourist Step 1.jpg|center]]

#Read up on best locales for eating, walking, and tourism. Do all the things you'd do, or at least plan to do all the things you'd do, if you were a tourist in the city as well as the things you'd do as a local. Finding great reviews is easy, just gravitate towards the people who you think would give you worthy advice on sites like yelp.com, nytimes.com, or independent reviews.[[Image:Wander New York City Without Looking Like a Tourist Step 2.jpg|center]]

#Wander. Nothing beats wandering for getting the feel for the city; a place like New York is very diverse, and you'll get your fair share of cross-cultural immersion if you're in a place like Chinatown or Spanish Harlem--but those are only a few of the places offering multi-cultural eats, scenes, and businesses.

#Dress your best. You never know who you're going to run into. Don't let anyone think you aren't a gold star.[[Image:Wander New York City Without Looking Like a Tourist Step 4.jpg|center]]

#Try to contribute to the household you're in. That means doing things like the dishes, sweeping, walking the dog, and helping even when you don't see a direct benefit to yourself. Or, if you have it, leaving chunks of cash around. You never know how far an act of kindness, especially in the limited square footage of NYC, can go in keeping roommate relations civil, fluid, and productive. So much of the process is an act of symbiosis; you give while I take, you rest while I work; we both work and contribute. It's a beautiful thing, so don't let it go sour.[[Image:Wander New York City Without Looking Like a Tourist Step 5.jpg|center]]
