Plan your bus tours along Broadway. They are always out looking for customers.
There are plenty located at

Broadway and 42nd st.
Broadway and 23 st.
Broadway and City Hall.

You can also safely hop on the bus ( it will be slower than the subway) running uptown or downtown if you wish.
Hope this helps.

Why would you pay hundreds $$ just to see other people. Not my cup of tea.

There are other cities where you get to see large melting pot of people in friendlier setting, less noise, less chaotic, and much more affordable.

When you come to NYC you are paying to see random chaos and people trying to to politely avoid each other on the sidewalks and a test of patience. How well you can stand the heat, hunger, patience just to get served around town. Whether it's at a place to eat or fighting other tourists and hipsters with eating street or boutique foods there's a bit of everything here and often large crowds of people waiting for over-rated, over-hyped foods.

If you want your civility tested then come to NYC during the summer.


I agree that Times Square is super crowded and annoying but why focus on TS? there are plenty of other things to do and see in NYC. TS is NOT NYC. The good thing about NYC is that it does have options and you get to plan your vacation the way you want it to be. So yes! The OP can definitely have a mellow trip to NYC. I hope to hear from him soon about his experience.
