• Cmd-N: new Finder window
• Cmd-Accent (`): navigate through open Finder windows
• left, right, up, or down: move through the Finder folders/files; combine with typing first few leters of file/folder name for faster navigation
• Shift+Cmd+C: open your Finder window to all the devices, volumes, and network resources you have access to
• Cmd-O: open a file or folder
• Ctrl-F2: Focus in the menu bar

Other useful navigation shortcuts are:

• Cmd-Shift-A: Open the Applications folder
