:-D    creating quite the scene, I see!

believe me, New Yorkers are used to seeing all sorts of "odd" and interesting things and people.....we enjoy the view
And that's the reason why I want to go to NY, to see the free, weird side of life. :-)
the best place for that is The Village

you will love it!!

Also, please start importing Cadbury's chocolate. Much appreciated.

They don't sell Cadbury's there? Hm. Might have to rethink the entire I'll-visit-the-US-sometime-once-I-can-afford-it thing...
trust me, NY has Cadbury - I've had it!  :-D

@cecilia
We never found Greenwich Village. But the Meatpacking District sounded quite appealing ;-) And I never saw any Cadbury's chocolate. Believe me I would have snapped it up if I had seen it. Maybe American chocolate is an acquired taste, but it still tastes like dog chocolate to me - no offence! :-P

american chocolate is nothing speacial. I've been to the hersey factory in Pennsylvania years ago and when that chocolate is fresh it tastes fine. But, frankly, once you have tasted Belgian chocolate why bother with 2nd best.
Cadbury is very nice.

you really can find ANYTHING in NY. But it's all about knowing where to look.

Perhaps I need to look harder next time. I don't think I could face another week without any PG or chocolate :-)

By the way I've just remembered a really funny story. Well I thought it was funny, but you might have had to be there. We were walking across Times Square to get to tkts and the lights changed to allow the traffic to go. There was this guy standing in the middle of the road not moving, and within a New York Minute the taxis started beeping him. He turned round to face them, threw his arms up in the air, and in an extremely gruff and broad Brooklyn accent he shouted "Hey! Dis is Noo Yowk Ciddy!" before swaggering off. It was so stereotyped I had to laugh! I just wish the camera had been rolling :-)

[EDIT]
Mr Brooklyn's speech transcribed more phonetically ;-)

oh, yeah! that's NY all right!!

one of my favorite "sights" in Times Square is the infamous Nakid Cowboy.
yes, he is real, he does sing and loves posing with the ladies.

no, I never pinched his bottom.

at least not yet  :-D

Er, so wearing underwear is called being naked in the USA? There must a lot of nude beaches over there :p.

Well, I was thinking about a different kind of humour, which is more like 'underneath'...

Well, not only in those parts, here too it wouldn't be allowed. For obvious very subjective reasons.

Well, I've never been to New York, and frankly, I never plan to, but around here, Cadbury's chocolate can be found anywhere you can find other chocolate.  I don't see what's so great about it though.  It doesn't taste any different than any Hershey's or NestlĂ© to me.  Of course, that may be because I only appreciate good Swiss chocolate. :-P
