You may think of New York Citys Times Square as the worlds unofficial headquarters for New Years Eve, and the location of the infamous Ball Drop. You may think of Times Square as the crossroads of the world, or at least as the center of New Yorks Broadway theater district. You may remember Times Square for your indigestion after having that street-vendor burrito.
But did you ever think of Times Square as a destination?
Say you find yourself on a charter bus to Times Square. This is not a stretch. Many people find themselves on charter buses to Times Square, some intentionally. There are charter buses to Times Square from most places east of the Mississippi. And theyre cheap. Round trip same day fare from Baltimore to Times Square is as little as$30. You get dropped off at Penn Station or maybe8th Ave and 47th St. at 10:00am and you have until 6:00pm until your return trip home.
What do you do in the meantime? See a show? Tour a studio? See the Intrepid Museum? Arrive too late to appear in the street crowd on theToday show? Eat a street-vendor burrito?Noble pursuits all, but let me suggest an alternative.
Walk and look.
Walk two blocks east and just drink in the scene. Its a visual riot. You will see live TV footage, stock tickers for various exchanges, live news feeds, Broadway show ads, new book ads, electronics stores, jewelry stores, luggage stores, currency exchanges, McDonalds, TGIFridays, Howard Johnsons, the theater in which David Lettermans show is filmed.
And thats all in one storefront.
Check out the latest offerings at TKTS, right in the center of the action, the clearinghouse for same-day cash-only Broadway tickets. This particular day you could see Memphis, or Hamlet, or Avenue Q for half price. The important to budget travel is to prepare ahead. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved holidays and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the reality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our heads. Organizing and expending our travel budget correctly is a concern for most families. Minimizing consuming and costs, while still experiencing your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed accomplishment and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding economizing money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal finances is really small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, no matter whether on a finances or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel costs!. While you are looking, get offered tickets to other shows by non-TKTS barkers.
But today is dedicated to walking and looking, remember?
What goes on in the Virgin Mobile building, or the MTV building, or the Scientology building? Is the entire Hersheys Chocolate building made of chocolate, as it appears? Look at this mixing bowl of people, cars, advertising, businesses, neon and video. Feel the energy, the allure of the city, the vibe. Overwhelming? Intimidating? No.
Its energizing.
Need a break? Walk 5 blocks West past innumerable quaint restaurants to the Hudson River piers. The cruise ships dock here and you can see the Intrepid Museum. But the latest thing to look at might be the coolest. The USS New York berthed here recently, the Navys newest amphibious assault ship. It was constructed fromWorld Trade Center steel. See what I mean about cool?
Now, reward yourself with a street-vendor burrito.
