Or better than the maps, they stop to take really stupid pictures, then take forever to take it, and then if they try to take someone you try to be nice and wait so you don't interfere w/ the picture but then like they can't get the flash to go on or something...ick!
But as bad as it for us, sometimes we don't realize how awful some ppl have it w/ these ppl...when I was walking in times square w/ my friend in a wheelchair, I saw how bad it is for her. At one point ppl stopped to have a conversation on the ramp and she could not go anywhere...finally after 3 minutes we finally like yelled at them to move...I mean everyone else could go around them fine but...ulgh.
I don't even consider myself that fast a walker...but apparently it comes out when there's crowds and stuff...when I was in DC I was such the NYer telling my friends it's okay to cross if it says don't walk but no cars are coming, cutting in front of ppl, it was unreal to them.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
