Educate yourself: the majority of people who hang out there ARE tourists. You think NYers go to Times Square to look at the Naked Cowboy and these women? Get real. You can’t get to the theater through these crowds in summertime. It’s a nightmare.
You’re wasting your time with posts like this.
Freepers KNOW NYC. They’ve seen it on Friends, Sienfeld, L&O etc. Or perhaps they or someone they know once visited for a weekend and stayed in mid-town.
I’ve told this story before. After living in WV for about three years I’m at a neighbor’s cook out with a lady friend who was visiting from NY. In the course of conversation, the hostess says, “You two, you’re not like NYers.” My answer was, “Really? How many NYers do you know?” It didn’t take her but a second or two to understand that her view was entirely formed by TV.
Went to a play in Times Square the day after the election. Somber mood. Good day to be there!
