I always have a positive reaction to Times Square - you've got so many people passing through here, so many cultures, and so many people merging into the central community of New York City. This is the hub of America.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you give me Times Square, I want to give it back to the people.
One of the many reasons I love living in New York is that we get a front row seat to the innumerable thrills that take place here - from conventions and awards shows, to parades and U.N. assemblies. But my favorite New York tradition is the annual New Year's Eve ball-drop on Times Square.
The great thing about living in New York is the constant change of things. It inspires me to keep moving, push forward, question ideas.
I love how New York as an idea is less a paradigm of manifest destiny and more a romance for the social orphans of the world. We live here to be among the towers and the crowds.
The trouble with New York today is that it's lost its balance. I love the new, greener New York, but it takes all kinds of worlds to make a World.
It's fascinating to see how versatile New York City is. It lends itself to being so many different places!
The culture of New York is just impossible to replicate. It's such an incredible feeling to be walking on the streets of New York. You can literally find everything you need in a five block radius oftentimes.
I won't go anywhere near the new Times Square. It's seizure-inducing.
The people really are what make New York City great.
I hate, hate Times Square!
