⌘N currently opens a new tab in Safari, but I would like for that key command to open a new window (like in Chrome). Is there anyway to do that?

You can use Safari preferences (⌘ ,) to change this setting, you can use automatically or always for opening pages in new tabs instead of new windows.
In Safari > Preferences > Tabs, there's a preference for setting when pages should open in windows or tabs.
Look here:
- Open Safari > Preferences and select Tabs along the top
- Under the option for "Open pages in tabs instead of windows:" select "Always" from the drop-down.
This will force every application to open links in tabs.
