WHAT/WHERE
Tourists in one lane. New Yorkers in the other. Keep it moving, people.

NETWORK CONNECTION

I’ve often thought about this. How do residents of Manhattan deal with weaving around tourists day in and day out. Wouldn’t that get annoying or possibly troublesome? While this sort of segregation may be pushing the bar a smidge, these improv guys certainly made a scene spectators would remember.

    I think this is hilarious. As tourist I’d have no problem walking in the tourist lane, I can’t keep up with the pace of a New Yorker. I can also understand how frustrating it would be for locals to be trying to get home or to work or wherever, only to blocked by people stopping in the middle of the street or crosswalk to take pictures.

    While I was in NYC I was kinda hoping I’d come across one of the Improv Everywhere sketches. Alas it did not happen.
