Has anyone asked him if he thinks this is good for New York. Maybe good for tourism? /s

Those are his people. Tourist families with kids, not so much.

Well played, NY Post. Well played.

If out of town tourists didn’t rush to Times Square, eat at Olive Garden and then spend the evening gawping at these ugly hussies, we wouldn’t have a problem. Why tourists think this is fun in a town that has so much to do, is beyond me.

I never supported turning the old Times Square into the new Times Square. Within a decade, it’s become as crummy as the old one.

Last week I stayed at a hotel a half block off Times Square. (Never again!) I saw some costumed characters but the most popular for tourist posing was a group of NY policemen holding “scary looking guns” standing in front of a police car, greeting tourists and posing with them for photos. A great idea.
