First time in New York/New Jersey for the World Cup! Any must-do's or things to avoid for a tourist? I'm staying near Manhattan.

Use the subway and PATH trains—they're your best friend. Avoid driving in Manhattan. For food, try everything from pizza slices to Korean BBQ in K-Town. The city has amazing food on every block.

Get to MetLife Stadium early on match day. The PATH to NJ Transit connection is key. Also, wear comfortable walking shoes—NYC is a walking city!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a must-see, you could spend a whole day there. It's world-class. Also, check out the High Line if you have time.

The atmosphere around MetLife Stadium on match day is going to be insane. Get there early to soak it all in. The Final is going to be incredible!
