On many escalators here, people don't walk left -- they just all cram on, IME. Unlike DC, where it's pretty well followed.
I hated that location. I lurve midtown.
Hilarious. I've never really worked in midtown, but now I can see it being like a dream! Actually, that's a lie: I was on 32nd St. for a while.
Lunchtime options are even worse in midtown than downtown.
I once worked near Gramercy Park. That was truly awesome.
Lunchtime options are even worse in midtown than downtown.
So true. When I was temping, I worked in just about every neighborhood south of 59th St, and by far the worst lunch options are in East midtown. Which is where I work now. Feh.
When my mom and I took the Metro in DC last month, I had to constantly tell her to stand on the right of the escalator to let everyone walk past on the left. She kept on shifting to the left so she could look back at me (standing on the right), and I kept pushing her back to the right.
If you're trying to do a left-turn onto the middle of a busy sidewalk, I'd say tourists are not your biggest problem...
Oh come on. When the tourists are in season, that means it's OK to run them down, right? Just like deer season?
I kept pushing her back to the right.
And hundreds of people were grateful for that!
I have no idea what language any of you people are speaking.
ita is a tourist. Pass it on.
ita will get into that altercation in NYC--pass it on.
ita will use alliteration in poetry - pass it on.
