How to get around in New York. "thugs dress more like kanye west and less like 2 live crew"

Riding the metro. Every city should have a subway system. Most cars are yellow cabs, most corners are food stands (instead of gas stations). The streets are easy, you can walk anywhere, or ride anywhere (for $2).

NY has a classier set of "thug or rap scene or gangster". No hanging pants, baggy clothes, etc. The fashion: 80s glasses, fitted jeans, vintage shirts and retro shoes.
