Times Square

Times Square

Not that any New Yorker would be caught dead in this special circle of Hell anyway, but in case you thought that you may be able to use those sweaty, middle-aged men dressed up as Mickey Mouse as a post breakup decoy, stay away from Times Square for your heartbreak escapades. While the Naked Cowboy may lower your exes ego just enough for you to get a word in edgewise, nothing is worth the anxiety inducing crowds that flood the sidewalks. After all, how can you tell him it gets better when even leaving the torture pit that is Times Square is harder than successfully completing Mario Kart's "Rainbow Road?"
