Never judge NYC by Times Square. It was made for leeching tourists of their money. Midtown Manhattan is also a business center of the city so it's not surprising that it isn't exactly the most inspiring place. It's 90% office buildings . . what else could you expect? There are loads of street musicians out on weekdays - just not in midtown. Washington Square Park and the West Village are lovely neighborhoods with loads of personality and style. I wish I could have showed you the more authentic parts of the city, but alas, work is work. It's a very big city and you saw a teeny tiny fraction in a handful of days.
