Where Elmo Takes Venmo
🧭Generally defined as the area: West 40th to West 53rd Streets between Sixth and Eighth Avenues, basically where the neon never stops and the billboards cost more than most apartments
📌Best known for: being the place every tourist thinks is all of Manhattan, being the part of NYC typically depicted in movies
👕You can spot a Times Square local by: the fact that they don't exist, nobody actually lives here
👍Locals live here because: their corporate housing didn't give them a choice
👎Don't say we didn't warn you about: dodging Elmo while he threatens you for tip money, The Naked Cowboy
✨The general vibe is: aggressively bright, relentlessly crowded chaos, soft pretzel scented
