UG Intern at MBB this summer -- advice?

Hey monkeys,

I'm a rising senior interning in MBB this summer. From people at the firm I've talked to, I know at this point I can relax, do good work, and I'll be fine for a return offer. One person specifically told me that as an intern I shouldn't show face to just show face (but of course produce high quality work and put in the necessary hours), but go out, explore the city, and have fun -- he said that's what'll make an impression on superiors. Other than that I know the main advice is always be hungry and quick to learn.

Anyways.... any advice you all have to offer up? Things you would've told yourself first day on the job? Etiquette/conversation things? Ways to leave a positive impression?
