Some of you are really chewing down on that poster but I'm sorry to say, they're right. I love Apple just like most others on this forum but it's NOT the Number 1 Tourist Attraction in the city, like some of you are making it out to be. Granted it's the first/last store you see after/before you get to Central Park and the design is unique and breathtaking. It's 24 hours so that explains the huge crowds, but you can't compare a store (Macy's Herald Square is an exception considering the history and it's age!) to something more iconic/historic like the Brooklyn Bridge.
Granted, it's a must see (in my opinion) for most people but I'm positive most people don't travel thousands of miles and cross the ocean to visit this store first. Lol.
It's probably Top 50+. but not in the same league as the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Brooklyn Bridge, Prospect Park, Central Park, etc. I can go on. . . .
