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.

    I was completely underwhelmed by Times Square. For a start, it isn’t really a square? It just seemed to be a street, and not an interesting street. Big billboards yes, but so what. Recently I visited Tokyo, and took a look at the Shibuya Scramble. That’s more like what I expected Times Square to be.
