Advice wanted from young adult New Yorkers

I’m heading to the USA from Europe and have a 4 day stopover in NYC.

While I’m there I want to sample the city, but not necessarily the standard touristy stuff.

I want to know good low key food spots, underrated experiences, lesser known museums etc. just anything that’s more indicative of the very day New York experience.

UK non-muslim interested in reading the Quran question

Hi, I am interested in the prominent books of many religions and I want to read the Quran. I don’t speak Arabic though and am unsure where to get an authentic Quran. Is a standard English Quran from Amazon good? Should I ask a local Mosque if i can buy one of theirs? What’s the best move for the most authentic to Islam reading? I’m looking for something that is translated faithfully and has minimal if any edits as some other holy books tend to tweak things when translated or re published

Mafia The Old Country absolutely abysmal performance on PS5

The performance mode is absolutely shocking it’s dropping frames drastically the majority of the time and is especially annoying in races and chases it makes it borderline unplayable. The Quality mode is little better either with 30fps already being a difficult experience on top of the poor performance. What can be done here if anything?

What are the two green rings a reference to in Wicked Isle?

I have just been exploring the new island and went to the very back of the bandit bunker and saw two green rings and a growling noise then they disappeared. Cant find anything about it online other than two YouTube videos showing them (linked in post) and i saw one comment on another video saying they’re a reference to the Mysterons from Captain Scarlet but I’m not sure in what way the two rings and growl are related to that show? if that truly is the intended reference.

Halo 4 story ending pet peev

Why at the end of Halo 4 when there was a mad rush to nuke the composer all of a sudden when Chief is crossing the light bridge did the he decid to walk at the slowest possible pace he could and when hanging off the edge just take his sweet time looking around before climbing up? The pacing of that whole end segment is so jarring from speeding from platforms to break the shields to all of a sudden a nice little stroll

wasn’t humanities first contact with the Flood in Halo CE on 004? If so, how are they in Halo Wars? And if the Halo Wars encounter is canon then why wasn’t the UNSC more informed about being alert for possible flood encounters by the time the first team on 004 get attacked?
