Times Sqare (infosec.pub)

I loved New York but I didnt enjoy Times Square. It's an overly commercialized tourist trap. It felt loud, crowded, and soulless. It reminded me of Las Vegas. (Sorry). This picture somewhat captures my anxiety and discomfort there.

We visited a few years ago, had some time before our show started, so we just walked around Times Square. I just wanted to take in the atmosphere for a few minutes. One of the most famous places on earth, thousands of people, all kinds of things going on.

I probably wouldn't go there regularly even if I lived in the city, but occasionally it'd be fun. And my wife would want to go to a lot of Broadway shows.

There's nothing like it in DC, for example. But then people in DC rarely visit the Smithsonian.
