It’s not for you.

Doesn’t make it a “cesspool.” It’s quite a great city.

When we went to NYC last year, we stayed in Times Square. We will not be back there for a long time

I've been to nyc numerous times because we live about 200 hundred miles from there. its par for the course. its reasonably safe but still I've always detected a con-artist or opportunists' elements in the city.

in this case, from what I saw I think the manager did a great job!

I've been visiting NYC multiple times per year since I was a kid. First with my parents, now as an adult, with my kids.
I went to Times Square once as a kid.
I went once as an adult, to show my kids.

Your mistake was "staying" there. It's the kind of place you go to for the sake of seeing it and saying you went, and then leave. There is no reason to stay there, unless you like tourist traps.

I typically stay in Chelsea, which is MUCH nicer, MUCH cleaner, MUCH less crowded, and just a very pleasant area overall.

Is that the term use for every bad behavior or activity now, someone is mentally ill?

Characters like that are not uncommon, not just nyc.

ONly reason it made news because it got capture on video.

I’m surprised no one retaliated. Would it have been illegal to hit her back?

BS, its a dump and keeps getting worse. I used to visit in the 80's and 90's, then took my kids there for a visit and it was gross.. I will never go back again.

I doubt it. Seems like it would have been self-defense. I notice she looked around and picked who she thought wouldn't do anything.

I said, MAY BE, which of course is a possibility.
