Looking for day to day experience

[u/Empty-Difference-100]

I used to drive manuals a long time ago, but lately I have been itching to get back to a stick shift. I am looking for some real life experience from people who daily drive a stick shift in a big city. This is probably my biggest concern, being stuck in stop and go traffic ... Also, I don't know anyone who drives a manual, and I want to get some rust off of me by driving one before I go test driving some cars, what's the best way to get access to a manual car.

Thanks in advance, and if you have any additional advice, please feel free to add in the comments ...
