Why the hate for tourists? I love tourists! As a NYC resident I am fully aware that the entire reason this city has the museums, restaurants, shows, and events I love is because of the tourists who come here and spend their money in my fair city. In fact the only reason we have such rockin’ public transportation at such a low cost to me is because of all the tourists. Seriously, I can go anywhere in the city at pretty much any time of day or night for less than $90 per month because of the millions of people that spend 4 or 5 days here at a time and pay $2.25 per ride to supplement the MTA cash flow. If you have an issue with tourists in your city please send them here! I would love to have more people pouring their dollars into my local economy even if it does mean I have to wait for a train every now and again.
