Where you run into crowds: North side of 59th Street (bottom of Central Park) - mobbed on a Saturday afternoon; Rockefeller Center (thousands wonder why); the High Line (like a moving sidewalk); Union Square Greenmarket; Broadway in Times Square (where did all of those people go when the street wasn't closed?); Soho (always)
Where there are more crowds than you might expect: Sak's shoe dept; Upper-medium-end restaurants (e.g. Cookshop for Sunday brunch PACKED!, difficulty of getting a res at Rosa Mexicano); Butter Lane (a better cupcake worth waiting for, glad people realize it :); 14th Street between 9th and 10th (High Line spillover plus the occasional shopper/Sally Hershberger client); Bloomingdale's 59th amomng the cosmetics and expensive handbag maze; Bloomingdale's Soho (shoes on sale!);
Surprisingly accessible and worth doing (is it just before Labor Day?): Shake Shack uptown (salted caramel custard rocks); Barney's warehouse sale (sensing a retail therapy theme?); hopefully will have more to add to this after we find a great outdoor place for drinks tonight!
