so i’ve been back in the city for almost a month now from my european adventure, and one of the things i’ve been attempting to do now that i’m back is to take advantage of the various cultural events and sites that give nyc it’s “best city on earth” moniker.

one such thing that i read about from abroad was the pedestrianization of times square. i had heard that they closed broadway and put out some lawnchairs. i thought that this endeavor would be approached with some kind of artistry or tact, rather than the random placement of cheap lawn chairs scattered amongst orange-coned off asphalt areas.

now i know that it’ll probably look real nice when they finish all the construction and plant some trees, but right now, it’s like a tailgate party that never ends.

enjoy my crappy cell-phone pics after the jump.
