Meeting young New Yorkers during my Vacations in NYC

Hi everyone, I'm arnie, 30y living in London. I would like to visit NYC this year but especially the objective is to meet "locals" to share social time go out for a few drinks in bars, pubs, ... getting to know how it is to live over there. 

Ideally I'm looking also for accommodations as I find that a little "dull" to go to the hotel. I would prefer to share a house/flat with a few housemate to carry on the "social time". Of course I'm more than happy to pay my fair share.
I will stay probably a week.

I would like to understand the pros and cons of NYC as I have been offered already twice a job (or at least offered to join interviews). knowing the city and its people is a good place to start.

let me know if you are interested by the above topic.

I'm a genuine nice guy ,very social, always making sure people feel comfortable around me and are having a good evening. I'm into baseball, ice hockey, Gym, sciences, American culture and above all..... US country music (modern one).


Say hello and let's have a quick chat if you are interested.

Have a very good day.

Arnie
