What are people doing in the middle of Times Square sitting in lawn chairs?
We just left from our vacation in NYC (had a blast and miss it). The one thing we couldn't figure out was why people were sitting in the middle of Times Square in lawn chairs. The only thing I could think of was that they are people watching. Is this right? And are those parts of the roads always closed off to traffic? Thanks!!

This is new. The mayor decided to close off parts of Broadway to traffic so people can relax more, socialize more, and enjoy everything around them. It's an experiment for this year. If it is not a success it will go back to normal in Jan.
Its a pilot program that the Mayor of this city is doing to control traffic in Midtown Manhattan and relieve congestion on the sidewalks in Time Square. Check out the link below.
