And TONS of people actually work in Times Square. The other options have relatively few office buildings.

Hollywood since it's the most disappointing, least interesting, and most generic of the list. Times Square has all the lights, density, and a giant mass of people you don't really find elsewhere. French Quarter has nice, older architecture and layout plus a lot of high quality restaurants not typically found in tourist traps. South Beach has nice architecture and the beach.

Maybe you need to get out more? The waterfront at peak times it's enough people that I can't walk fast despite the new wider sidewalk.

It's not the Pike Place Market of course...where the main hallway during peak times is like a stadium concourse when the game just got out.

TBF I can see it not even being on here because it's not even a neighborhood of SF it's just a random tourist hub. Like nobody lives or works there lol

I mean... you could also add Orlando’s I-Drive, and surrounding area.

Out of your list though, Times Square.


*Nothing really tacky about Miami Beach in my opinion.

I really do think you should get out more, neither attraction ever becomes a "mob scene", I think you would be overwhelmed if you actually went to a real urban city.

Your rhetoric about Seattle will never change, but let's ask anyone who's been to the Market on a summer weekend. Or who goes there at lunch hour on weekdays.
