I know it s hard to vision a city s culture when you haven t visited before, but this is one of the buisiest cities in the world, do you think that people of any origin could come out of manholes???? come on!!!We went for a week in May from Scotland and found it to be the most amazing place we ve ever been to in the world. Yes there are people who are on corners selling you cheap bags, scarves, etc, but I didn t see anyone selling DVD s in midtown. Only once did a guy ask us to buy his CD of his band whilst we were walking down the street, but as soon as my husband said No thanks, he went away and asked someone else. I know you hear some scary stories about large cities having high crime or scary things like people jumping out man holes, but it really is a safe city.There is an area in New York called China town, this is where you would find cheap DVD s if that s what your looking for, but if your question was driven by fear of these people, then be careful in this area, although we were very safe and everyone was only interested in selling things, you do get a sense of insecurity whilst there.Hope this has helped.
For free? Wow...I need to visit America.
