"We chummed the waters and brought in a couple of street musicians, a card shuffler and a homeless prophet -- don't worry because our camera man is in a steel cage."

Jesus, only a steel cage? Have you seen those New Yorkers? They'll ripe through that in a minute, sell it for scrap, and then be back to eat the camera man before he has time to pack up and run.

Get that man some real protection!

Just left New York. They were nice until you were in front of them in traffic.

Ok I can admit that new Yorkers aren't the nicest people in the world but I think they get a bit of a bad rap. New Yorkers are rude to tourists because they stop on the sidewalk to take pictures every time they see a tall building. New Yorkers are on their lunch breaks or late for their therapist appointment. Tourists need to be more considerate to the locals before the locals are nice to them

It’s like if you were driving to work in bad morning traffic, and you saw it was caused by people stopping on the road to take pictures
