Good point, Kevin Walsh. I hate when assholes take those types of cheap shots.

Mickster: Perhaps they love New York, but aren't in love with New York. :)

The shirts scream tourist cliché. Personally, I prefer the "I [heart] NJ" or the "I [heart] Newark" t-shirt, as it is a wonderful parody.

I think they are in "like" or maybe even "lust" with New York, but sisters, I think you are just lying to yourselves to say you are in love with New York. Sure, you'll go home and dream of us, but will you still love us tomorrow...

If they really loved NY, they'd live here. A more truthful shirt would be "I [HEART] TWINKIES"

I agree with #4 & #5, while I can get annoyed at slow-walking tourists, sometimes it's cute to see them getting excited about things that we're all jaded about or find lame. "OH MY GOD, LOOK, IT'S MTV!!"

that's what i think at least

i asked them when i took their pic - they were wailing in (mock?) embarassment, and said their friend made them wear the shirts!

I agree. I like seeing how much tourists really do love our city when they visit. As long as they aren't causing pedestrian traffic jams :)

Ahh, come on. It's cute. I mean, annoying as all crap when they inevitably crowd the street in confusion clinging to maps and looking skyward when you're in a rush to get around them, but cute all the same. I like living in a city that people like coming to, and wearing the unbearably cheesy shirts while here. Bless their soccer mom hearts. Especially the redhead lady in the front. She looks like she just might go hug a subway hobo any minute now.
