you enjoyed your stay, and am also looking forward to your next visit!!!!
What interesting sites did you visit? I live near the Aquarium in Brooklyn. If you ever intend to visit it, let me know and I will meet you there.

2. wish i could take credit
but your welcome. we've gone through some rough times - you probably wouldn't have liked us so much in the 70s and early 80s - but we clean up pretty well.....

3. actually, I thought Times Square was a little too corporate
Sometimes you can get overly cleaned up, y'know. Really, I just had a great time riding the subways and getting out and walking around different neighborhoods - everybody was really friendly and funny.

4. i feel the same way
which is why i avoid times square like it were a republican - which in a way it is. there use to be a time when the grit of times square gave it its character, now that character comes curtesy of disney and the olive garden.

5. That's true, but the "grit" of Times Square was pretty sticky, too
The days of the "gritty" and sticky Times Square are not so far away that I fondly recall the days of uber-sleaze yet!

Still, the new face of it takes some getting used to.
