I'm sure it was a magical time back then. Lots of people from lots of different places, and you are right about the food.
Didn't grow up there, but moved to NJ around 2005. Made a number of trips into NYC. Would visit with friends, and we would start walking in Times Square all the way down to the financial district, hitting bars and pizza places as we went.
Fast forward to 2019. The homeless, their "leavings", and the stench of pot. Saw my first body bag pulled out of the Times Square subway leaving work one night. Homeless woman pushed another woman into the path of the train. New Yorkers pulling their cell phone out to video it. No shame or respect.
Beginning of 2020 was the last time I was there. Sad what it has become, and I doubt I will ever go back.
