Times Square

Bright lights, big city!

To many New Yorkers, midtown IS New York and Times Square is the heart of it all. We were lucky enough to arrive on a Tuesday, which thinned the crowds a bit, but still, there was people everywhere. Even in the thirty degree weather!

Looking left.

The flag is actually the side of an Armed Services recruiting station. This station has transformed more civilians into servicemembers than any other recruiting station in the country.

You can tell tourists apart from New Yorkers because we're always looking up and turning our heads instead of looking where we're going.
Sorry to everyone I kept walking into!

I was told that leasing signage in Times Square is more expensive than leasing space and I believe it.

Really, you can't help but look!

I put the camera on the concrete divider in the middle of the street and turned the timer on.

The subway station on 42nd in Times Square was only a couple of blocks from our hotel.

We mainly used the subway to get around, plus the occasional cab. Jenn's holding the Metro Card. They don't use subway tokens anymore. Check out the tile work.

This was IN the subway station. These guys are breakers entertaining commuters as they wait for their train.

Check out the move this guy is doin.
They got a pretty big crowd to watch them, but as soon as they stopped dancing, turned the music off and passed the collection plate around, everyone prentended they had just gotten there or were just passing through.

I heart the fuzz. Notice how I'm bringing the head band back. So eighties!
