As far as "Times Square is a shithole" goes, Talib Kweli had something interesting to say the other day on Anthony Bourdain's show, which was in part about gentrification: "I don't like the Disneyfication of Times Square anymore than the next guy...but I remember what Times Square used to be like." Nostalgia for "Murder Avenue" and the gritty bad old days isn't anymore authentic than Guy Fieri.

Funny takedown, though. Fieri is a douche of the highest order.

Times Square is touristy, but it's also very distinctive of Manhattan, as much as Radio City Music Hall, the Empire State building, and the Statue of Liberty are.

Guy Fieri is disgusting. Times Square is a shithole. Guy Fieri's restaurant in Times Square is a disgusting shithole. That's all you need to know.

Avoiding restaurants near tourist attractions is generally a good rule of thumb anywhere in the world.

This may be the best sentence I've read, ever.

@ 14, he was a chef first. I think almost every Food Network host is. I have no idea how accomplished he was, but there's no need to resort to libel.

Oh, and the food doesn't look appetizing to me. Nor does the prices.

@8, 9, 11, thanks for the quick info on where to eat and where not to eat when visiting NYC.
