I see you live in the city too? Your insight might be useful xD
that's pretty much what i do i live in LA so lots of traffic here too (probably not the same as the cramped streets of NYC but yeah). you cant really make super small adjustments otherwise you'll just stall. so lots of clutch and then release it partially to blip the throttle as needed.

then again i havn't been driving manual all that long so maybe some one with more experience can offer better advice.
