There are reasons to go to Times Square that aren't being a tourist

But you won't find many non-tourists on top of the Empire State Building, or the Statue of Liberty.

- On a certain level, people need to get over the fear of "being a tourist" - Reagen Aug 15, 11:13 8
  - that said, Times Square is interesting for the crowds, but otherwise has absolutely nothing NYC in it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 15, 11:16 1

  - Being a "tourist" can be very free-ing. Some people ignore you, some get out of your way, others smile benignly. -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 15, 11:15 4
    - or, in NYC, you get shoulder-checked by the locals who have somewhere to be, and you're in their way. :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 15, 11:16 3
      - as if they bother to see if you're a tourist before doing that -- nm - zork Aug 15, 11:18 2
        
        if you're moving slow, they already know. -- nm - loosilu Aug 15, 11:19 1

- exactly. When I go there to hang with my brother (or you guys) I don't consider my self a tourist. When I go with someone doing touristy things - decline Aug 15, 11:10 1
