I don't mind Time Square, Paul, except that on summer weekends it is so crowded that it is difficult to walk even a few blocks.
The people watching is great, but I like Bryant Park for that, because it is easier to find a nice place to sit and watch the world go by. In any event, Most of New York is interesting and entertaining, at least for a country hick from Jersey.
