I’ll be away from the computer through Thanksgiving. But while I’m gone from my beloved New York City, I’ll be mourning the passing of the One Times Square Cup Noodles sign. People always think I’m kidding when I say that Times Square is my favorite part of the city, but it is. Capitalism, consumerism, unfettered commerce and materialism. I cannot get enough.

I wish I’d known it was being removed. I would have taken roughly 1,000 more pictures of it.

It had actual steam rising from the noodles, people. Actual steam. Wake me when it’s New Years…
