Times Square

They walked down the steps again into the bowels of New York City. This time, though, she knew how to use the little ticket machine, and managed to grab a handle, so she didn’t have to cling to Chris(though she found herself regretting this as the ride went on). Finally, after about 10 stops, Chris said,”Alright, we’re here. This is our stop.”

They ran back up the steps and into the living world. “This is Times Square, in case you didn’t already know,” he said, watching as her eyes grew wide, looking at all the spectacles around her.Her brain went into overdrive as it tried to take in the craziness that was Times Square. “I know it looks cool now, but honestly…you get a little sick of hearing Times Square synonymous with New York. There are definitely a ton of cooler places in The Village or SoHo. But for now…while your still new to New York, all of this glamour probably looks really impressive. So I wanted you to see it.”
