My wife did all of her Xmas shopping in one day in NYC while there on a business trip. Here's a pic she snapped for me in SoHo. The number of pedestrians in that city is really astonishing to me each and every time I go there. There's not any other city like it in the US.
BTW, the shop with the rat on the sign is called "Yellow Rat beotch". I was intrigued and looked it up. Turns out the place is a modern day retail sweat shop and the owner was arrested for underpaying immigrant employees. It also has rats! That's like calling your restaurant Salmonella and being shocked when someone gets sick. http://www.villagevoice.com/blogs/powerpla...ives/002957.php
