Times Square
I spent the last week apartment-sitting for Mr. SS on 39th and 9th and had to walk thru Times Square every day to get to the subway. His block - the one where Cupcake Café is - grew on me like like a lovely case of herpes. Between the grittiness of Port Authority, they gayness of Hell's Kitchen and Chelsea, the culture of 'Broadway' and the tourism of the 'New 42nd Street', I'm tempted to name it the Most Underated New York Area. And my new favorite NY block.
