Over the weekend they had these lawnchairs in the middle of the street on one side of Times Square.
We thought it was just a weekend thing, but they were back yesterday. Seriously, these people are justing sitting in the middle of the street in Times Square!

Nice! So, the funny thing is...on one side of the street there are all these people hanging out in the street and on the other side of the street traffic is jammed up and taxis are honking! Crazy...hilarious to watch! Other than this one shot of relaxation, the city was very loud and busy on a Monday morning. Robbie had taught me how to "walk like a New Yorker", and I did pretty well...none of the "touristy" people bugged me to go on their rides or see their shows! I did get a glimpse of myself in a window and scared myself by the scowl on my face!! Too NY...so, I popped into the M&M shop to lighten up a little. I'll leave you with this fun image.

yeah, i had read in the nyt that they were shutting down a section of broadway to create a more pedestrian friendly atmosphere and reduce traffic congestion. of course that had to start the week after we left! i probably wouldn't have been as intimidated by times square!
Can you tell me how you walk like a New Yorker?
if i had known the chairs had only been there a few weeks, i might have posed in one...
walking like a new yorker is pretty easy, but takes a little practice. you look straight forward, never making eye contact with the people near you and when you get to an intersection, you step off the curb...into the street and watch for traffic breaks, then go. if you only watch the signals or if you look a people...you scream tourist. a slight scowl usually helps. i got down the street crossing, but never really got good at the other parts!
