#storiesbytiffany: First time in New York? Say what ...

Yup. Say WHAT!?

Yeah ... I was supposed to go last year, but it never happened. I for one am not a fan. Maybe because it was a death trap almost everywhere i walked and random characters coming up to you for pictures then asking for money for a picture you never wanted, or because the air was suffocating to me, along with the freaking construction that swallowed times square. Did i mention the characters wanting to take pictures with me? as soon as they saw my camera they assumed and it was really scary how they just came all at once, and i wasn't trying to be so rude while panicking on the inside. I get the whole time square is crowded and all, but people must not have work or other things to do for it to be so crowded at any time of the day.

I took somewhat of photos and videos, but i just wanted to enjoy the waking (not the bumping into others), literally wondering if people were going to die due to the jaywalking or whatever they call it. It was really bad. I really thought we was going to hit someone and catch a case because they didn't know how to wait for the signals or for the cars to stop.

On the other hand, Tonic's was a cool place to eat. Checked out Carlo's Bakery which i didn't know they had in NY or just forgot. It was small and nice, but i didn't go back due to needing to finish up the trip and head home. Definitely got a street portrait though! Oh, totally clueless with there being a 'Matilda' play on broadway?? the movie was one of my favorites growing up, and i thought twitter was just trying to cast people for remakes and all. Some things don't need to be remade, especially certain classics.

I think this wraps it up ...

It's not like i will never visit this place again, it's just that i won't be planning on going anytime soon. Hopefully when that happens, the death traps would be sealed with giving the air a clean feel. If you've never been, do go and experience it on your own. We all have different tastes or views.
