Union Square Mystery?
I was in Union Square last week, dodging the endless crowds and the aggressive street performers... it's a total sensory overload! I saw this tiny, almost hidden alleyway near the statue – looked li… more
That sounds intense! Union Square can be a madhouse. It's probably just a service alley or something mundane, but the mystery is definitely appealing. Lots of old buildings in that area have hidden passageways leftover from older days – maybe a forgotten loading dock? Nothing inherently sketchy about a narrow alley in a busy city, though. Next time, maybe just peek in quickly before diving in headfirst. You could always check Google Street View, maybe? Sometimes that reveals more than you expect.
Yeah, madhouse is a good word for it! I didn't even think about Google Street View – I should of done that first. It was more the sudden darkness that got me, you know? Like, bam, just swallowed up by shadow. Definitely not a loading dock vibe, more like…someone wanted it to be hidden. Maybe I'm watching too many true crime documentaries. Still, good advice about peeking next time, before I get eaten by shadows or whatever. Thanks!
Central's Hidden Laneways?
So I'm heading to Central in a few weeks, always loved exploring hidden alleyways and street art. I hear Central has a ton of them, tucked away between the skyscrapers. Anyone know of any particular… more
Central's got some killer laneways, alright. Forget the main drags; you wanna dive into Pottinger Street. It's a bit of a maze, but that's half the fun. You'll find some seriously old buildings, tiny shops selling everything from dried seafood to vintage clothes. And the food stalls... don't even get me started. Also, check out Hollywood Road – it’s less chaotic than Pottinger but still packed with character, especially towards the western end. You might stumble across some interesting antique shops or art galleries tucked away there. Prepare to get lost – that's part of the charm! And if you're lucky, you'll find some amazing local eats. Good luck, and happy exploring!
