    Like anywhere, it really depends on what part of town you are in and the time of day. Most drivers know not to go anywhere near Times Square if they can help it and many of the streets there are blocked off to cars anyway, but sometimes you have no choice but to drive down Canal Street in Chinatown which is always packed.

      Ah man… I forgot to check out Chinatown. 😭

      I didn’t go to central park, either. The only place I went out of my way to see was the statue of liberty, and it kinda sucked because it was closed that day (went to the base island, didn’t get to go inside). I mostly just walked around randomly until I recognized something from media and was like “Hey! I know where I am!”

      I was only there half a day, and it was not really planned. I had just gotten injured falling down the stairs working on a cruise ship, and that’s where I got off to go home. Otherwise I would have also seen central America going through the Panama Canal and Hawaii where the ship would begin normal operations… 😮‍💨

        Honestly, Chinatown probably isn’t the best tourist spot. Unless you have a specific destination there it can be a bit of a clusterfuck.

        Hope you got better from that fall. Sucks you had to miss out on the rest of that voyage. Do they just sail in open water from Panama to Hawaii?
