After 4 years of living here, I finally saw the naked cowboy…haha. Times Square is full of characters.

The S-train that goes back and forth between Times Square and Grand Central Station got a facelift I guess. Uniqlo apparently thought it was a good place for advertising. I think it’s kinda fun. Definitely grabs your attention.

Lawn chairs and people scattered in the middle of street where Broadway runs through Times Square. This area’s been turned into a “car free” zone. Cars can still drive on the 7th Ave part that runs through Times Square, but Broadway is just for the peaple. Checked it out this weekend for myself and even sat in one of the lawn chairs for a little bit. Moving around Times Square is definitely easier now that the crowds aren’t stuck to just using the sidewalks.

There’s this pretty awesome photo blog site I found called NYC Grid. It’s a photo blog dedicated to exploring New York block by block. They have tons of galleries with photos of MANY different blocks in NYC. This gallery I like in particular because it compares differnt areas and landmarks of NYC during 1961 vs 2009. Check it out by clicking here.
