As you walk up Eighth Avenue near Times Square, the first thing you notice is that you’re in the virtuous shadow of the area’s namesake institution, the steely-grey New York Times building, which looms on your right. You breathe in the scent of Schnipper’s burgers and fries, complemented by the familiar odor of a double-decker tour bus’s diesel fumes. And despite your utter hatred of Midtown crowds, you continue north toward 42nd.
