On Those Darn Tourists


Say Cheeeeeeeeese!

In New York City, tourists are a native's worst nightmare. They block the crosswalk in the West Village, Midtown, and Columbus Circle. They huddle on corners outside of Washington Square, Central, and Prospect Parks. They make lunch lines twice as long and morning commutes twice as crowded. They talk trash about us in unfamiliar languages and sneer at our perceived 'New York attitude.' And yet there is no escaping them, as tourist season in the City is year-round, and the Empire State Building is timeless, and John's Pizzeria will always be delicious. The best strategy we can implement is to (occasionally) offer wayward directions, and keep the neighborhood best kept secrets to ourselves. Enjoy!
