There are two odd things about the trip to NY.

First, Gatsby wants to know what Nick thinks of him. He asks Nick what his opinion of him is. He asks Nick this question as they are on the way into the city. This question is off-putting to Nick, who isn't used to being asked such a direct question.

Later, Gatsby wants Nick to invite Daisy to tea. Gatsby plans to "pop in" during the tea and surprise Daisy. In this way, Gatsby can force a conversation with Daisy. Nick, however, is a little uncomfortable with this plan, as he doesn't like the idea of setting Daisy up in this way. He has heard about how much Gatsby loves Daisy and doesn't think this is the best idea.
