All These New NYC Open Streets & Spaces Have Turned Manhattan in to a Ghost Town!
For about the 13,428th time since the pandemic I have seen articles and apoplectic Twitter folk proclaiming that NYC is dead, especially Manhattan.
And one of the most frequent reasons cited by critics is all the pedestrian plazas, open streets, bike lanes, restaurant dining, etc (add your own here). Well on Thursday I went out to collect footage for a film I am working on and I have two hours worth. And all I saw everywhere I went in midtown by foot, bike and transit was a thriving Manhattan. But more peaceful thanks to all the streets improvements.
So here is my ode to the "End of New York City". The doom and gloom armageddon that has hit it and has turned Broadway and places like it in to a miles long ghost town inhospitable to human life and activity. The NYC that will never recover that's limping along and might as well give up if its streets look like this going forth. Every day we get closer to Will Smith, Charlton Heston or Vincent Price driving down the streets wary of zombies and evil beings trying to take back the city. BEWARE!
