Course recommendations
Choose topics that REALLY interest you - look at the syllabus, go through the reading requirements and figure out which courses suit you best. I have made very good experiences that way, my teachers and classes were great - I never had that much fun studying before.

Go to Trudy's (409 W 30th St, at Guadalupe Street) and drink mexican martini (they are huge).
Nice cafes: Spiderhouse (http://www.spiderhousecafe.com/); Little city (http://www.littlecity.com/).
But you will find plenty if you only look around!
