A typical human of New York is always running in a hurry, like being late. Also, they are always in a line, waiting for the subway or waiting to be served at a restaurant, for example.
Some going to work, other strolling with their families. Even the New Yorkers seems to like turistic places. The most interesting in my opinion is that, a typical New Yorker has a musical soul, are passionate about art and culture, respect the visitors and are solicitous.
They do not mind helping foreigns indicating places that only they know, and believe me, it is always an amazing experience.
There are always a lot of them in cafes and bakeries. They like enjoying good food reading a book, the newspaper or just chating with friends.
In fact, a typical human of New York is similar to a typical human of São Paulo, Brazil, for this reason I chose spend my vacation here.
