Step 2 - Get a Social Security Number

To get a social security number you need to go to the social security offices, for example:

Midtown Manhattan
237 W. 48th Street, 5th Floor (Btw. 8th Avenue and Broadway)
New York, NY 10036
By Train: 1/C/E to 50th Street Station

Bring your VISA and Passport, and expect to wait about a week. The SSN will be sent to you by snail mail, so make sure you know where you will live in about a week too.
