Here are a few of the photos from that trip:

Times Square at 4:35 am looks pretty much like it would at midnight, sans a few hundred people.

The highlight (or lowlight, as it may be) of the trip was my having to move a 15 foot Ryder truck in the middle of Times Square at 8:45 am due to an error on the part of one of my co-workers.

As you can imagine, parking is tough to come by at that time of day.

Parallel parking a beast like that is also not an easy task.

That was decidedly not fun.

Shortly after I almost hit a rollerblader.

Unfortunately I don’t have any more of the photos, they were on a work computer and who knows what happened to them. But that Times Square shot has always been one of my favorite pictures, it brings back so many odd memories …
