New Yrok City is a fuckin trip. Anyone who has a chance to visit definitely should it's one of a kind.

Absolutely.

New and old lessons I can share about NYC:

  1. This place has seen everything. Don't worry about it.
  2. Nobody cares about your clothes, mannerisms, or dining preferences.
  3. People here are not rude, just honestly indifferent. Nobody will feign interest to make you feel better.
  4. Don't know where you're going? Get out of the way, then look at your phone.
  5. Train platforms are smaller than the interior of the train you just left. KEEP MOVING.
  6. Do NOT cross against the light. Drivers in NYC will remind you that it's not your turn.
  7. Eats are available for every budget. You may not like your options, but you won't starve.
  8. Lodging costs are also on a big spectrum. But you must learn how to spot bedbugs.
  9. Do you like walking slow? Might want to "speedwalk" instead.
  10. In general, do NOT be in anyone else's way.

Honestly aside from #6 and the bedbugs bit (pun intended), you're describing every city I've ever been to.

The gentleman on the left has his own bottle, so I don't think two strangers just found wine and started sharing it.

Also looks more like a champagne bottle to me. (Which would also be easier to pop open without an opener than a wine bottle, I still remember trying to open a wine bottle with a stick)

Lots of wine comes with screw caps these days. The very high end ones don't, but in the low-to-mid range, it's not uncommon.

I also thought about that, might have been a screw bottle. But that bulky part on top looks like champagne to me, but of course I could be wrong
