I actually am the one who left that message in gothamist contribute. I have pictures documenting everything in my flickr stream, which also happens to contain the pic in this post, so if you link up and go to the end of the set you can see pictures of what I described.

At 23rd and Broadway/5th, the police blocked access going south at 5:30pm yesterday. Didn't see them at that time, but heard load chanting west of there.

There were definitely two waves of people. All of my photos from yesterday were from the first wave around 6pm. But then a whole other wave of protesters showed up at Foley Square at around 7:30. If they had all been there at once, it would have seemed a lot bigger.
