Trap or Trip: Tourist Spots You Might Consider Avoiding

Times Square: A Crowded Hub

For many, New York is synonymous with Times Square. Situated in the heart of Manhattan, it boasts a bustling array of shops, restaurants, eccentric characters, costumed individuals, and enormous advertisements that illuminate the area round the clock.

However, the overwhelming aspect isn't just the influx of other tourists; entrepreneurs, flyer distributors, and buskers contribute to the chaotic atmosphere. Additionally, the stores and restaurants, despite being common in numerous mid-sized American towns, tend to have inflated prices, further diminishing the appeal of Times Square.
