>never really traveled before
>going to NYC alone for 8 days
>staying at a hostel, just so I have more opportunities to meet people
how do i have a good time?

been to Montreal alone for work. t b h it felt lonely going to restaurants and places by myself. didn't meet anyone

things I plan on doing:
>hiking breakneck ridge (never really hiked before though)
>restaurants, places without waiters, so you can go alone:
>>halal guys stand
>>shake shack
would like to go to others (like sit in restaurants like ninja new york), but afraid of waiting in long lines by myself or sitting at tables meant for groups by myself
>attractions
>>museum of modern art
>>central park
>>empire state and/or the rock
>>highline park
>>brooklyn bridge

i'm thinking of going to bars. but i don't go to them here at home (no friends to go with). i don't know what to wear, or even what to say to complete strangers at bars.

what do i even say to those at the hostel if i wanted to hang with other travelers?
help

Don't worry OP, you're probably guaranteed to have a great time. you are at least 6'3" right?

just be a cool dude, op. that's all you need to do.

don't know that hostel, but i stayed at the one in chelsea and had a great time. just be friendly and open to chatting. don't seem overly enthusiastic or anything. just do your own thing.

Not to super duper rain on your parade, but if you haven't made friends at home, what makes you think it's even going to make friends in a completely unfamiliar, normie-infested situation?

Hostels have areas where people hang out and smoke/drink. Just hang out there, and you'll get into convs with other people. If you're having a good time, you'll likely invite you along to stuff.

Ah... that's no good. Good luck i guess.
