Times Square is crazy. Last night I stood in the middle of the intersection for about 10 minutes and just took it all in. Remind you the picture below was taken at 11:00pm on a Wednesday night. The view from our room was beyond belief too. I'll post a picture of that later. About to head out Carnegie Deli, then take the A down to the wharf to gaze at Lady Liberty and spend a little more time at Ground Zero. Tonight we visit the "house that Ruth built", Yankee Stadium. Before I go, let me just confess that if it is a food item that is sold from a cart hosted by a poor English speaking man, I've eaten it. I love New York.
Here are some facts about Times Square:
1.7 million people passing through Times Square each day including the 26 million annual tourists.
274,000 people working directly in Times Square each day.
13,200 hotel rooms are in Times Square.
Approximately $4 billion in private investment has recently been injected into in Times Square.
500,000 people come to Times Square on New Year's Eve. 1/2 billion people watch the festivities on television worldwide.

Thanks for the update. And thanks for not calling me this week. I've only received one short email. I'm proud of you. I'm also jealous! NYC is one of my favorite places. When I win the lottery I plan to Summer in Montana, Autumn in New York and travel the globe the rest of the time. See you soon.
