Ellis Island is a must-see. I get goose-bumps just thinking about all the history they crammed into the place . . .
it's a very moving experience.

West 23rd St., eh? Going in and out during the day is fine, but after dark,
I would only take a cab door-to-door.
I would consider walking alone at night a no-no.

People may appear to be very aloof, but if you need to get directions
or ask a question, they are usually very helpful.

Avenue of the Americas is never called that; it's 6th Avenue.
Just about all even number streets go east and west;
there are a few exceptions; just remember even-east.

Subways are great during the day but obviously, if you take a bus you will see more.

No matter what, be careful how you carry your purse. A money belt or equivalent is a good idea.
