Being in New York, there is a level of fitness expected of you. The transit system is very good, but if something is less than 10 blocks, they will think you're weird to try to take transit. "It's not that far, it's only 10 blocks!" the city worker said to me (except we'd been walking for the last 2 hours). Lower Manhattan (everything South of Central Park) is considered the "downtown core" of New York City. That's where all the famous landmarks, buildings and businesses reside. But you could fit probably about 5 downtown Vancouvers into Lower Manhattan. It's Really Big. Thankfully the subway system is very extensive, fast and frequent. The wait is less than 5 minutes for a train.
Or you can take a taxi. I always wondered how people on TV would just raise their arm and get a taxi. Now I understand.
