Where do you think the best place to People watch???

[lost-in-nj]

Go this idea from the Cheesecake factory thread....


I think one of the best places is the lobby of a hotel/casino in Las Vegas....

You get everyone from Aunt Mabel and the kids to the old man and the hooker.....
And just about everything in between....
What about you???

Do you people watch???

1. I'm with you. Vegas is a great place to people watch. n/t

[skygazer]

2. I've always loved to people watch

I do it everywhere. Vegas is definitely a good place - one of my favorite places around here is Santa Cruz. Funky, odd, eclectic - you get tourists, locals, college kids, street people, hippie types, you name it. All in a pretty coastal town.

[fizzgig]

3. vegas was great for people watching

but i've always loved watching people in nyc

if i'm home, downtown is great for that

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear lost!

Speaking in general terms:

Airports

The beach

Shopping Malls

Even doctor waiting rooms!

In other words...wherever there are lots of people! :silly:

[seemunkee]

5. I agree and I have a great story

A couple we know were in Vegas not soon after their wedding. They were on the strip people watching and commenting on some of the bizarre characters when the wife says to her husband " Get a load of this one" An elderly lady with a beehive hairdo and leapard skin spandex capris is coming down the sidewalk. Husband takes a look and goes " Holy crap thats my aunt ethel

38. We have a winner here!

You can't help but get hungry walking past Midway Steak House on the boardwalk, even if you've just eaten!

I've been down there the past three weekends, getting some end-of-summer boardwalk fun with my niece and nephew (he's three and fearless!)

[billyoc]

44. Dude, I BUILT the Midway Steakhouse in the '80s. Worked there for 3 summers. n/t

[TommyO]

46. Dude, very cool!

It's almost sacrilegious that it's been joined by a Duncan Donuts, also on the center of the boardwalk.

[billyoc]

47. OMFG, that's gross. n/t

[TommyO]

49. Oh trust me, I agree!

I could do without the Carlisle influence at one of the places that I feel at home (even though I've lived in PA since 1992).

[Nikia]

7. From my front deck

I have social anxiety so that feels much safer than these crowded places other posters are naming. I see many different cars as well as pedestrians.

[Left Is Write]

My daughter lives in Santa Monica so we spend quite a bit of time there when we go visit. I love that place for people-watching.

I enjoy the boardwalk in Santa Cruz, too.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]
