    Struggling to imagine Ken in his youth listening to 50 cent and other NYC hip hop artists.

    Having lived in NYC my entire life I never think about how overwhelming it can be for someone new to the area. Good for you!

    I have watched hundreds of travel vloggers over the years and none of them have come close to conveying the excitement of seeing a dream destination for the first time like you have. I first went to America in 1989 and my excitement was on par with yours. Have a great rest of the trip.

    To be honest, you&apos;re the most polite and respectful vlogger I&apos;ve ever seen! Way to go, man! You&apos;ll be very successful!

    Hi Ken, native NYer here. The typical diner breakfast is usually eggs (any way you want), choice of meat (usually bacon or sausage), and toast with coffee. Chicken and waffles are even better at soul food type restaurants. If you want a typical NY bagel, you should get one at a dedicated bagel shop. Hope this helps!

    You do not need to tip everywhere for food or drinks. Only restaurants that you sit and have an actual waiter you tip. No need to tip at any fast food, not at Starbucks, takeout, food carts, grabbing a bagel, etc. if the option comes up on the register just hit no tip and move on.

    Such vloggers deserve appreciation because they share their genuine perspective without any hidden motives. They call things as they see them,right is right, and wrong is wrong. Truly impressed by his authenticity
