New York City is not what it used to be. During the day, there are only about 50% of the people on the streets compared to pre-COVID times.
Times Square was always unpopular with locals, but it was a very central transportation hub:
Here is the Times Square Metro Station at 3 AM on the night from Saturday to Sunday. You should hardly be able to walk here because of all the people. And it’s deserted….
The city that never sleeps has started to sleep.
