This has been done since at least 2022 every year. And I'm pretty sure it's a permitted event. It's not some Street action. It's like when they block off the streets for a parade or a rally.
Events on Father Duffy Square
To plan an event on Father Duffy Square, you must file a permit with The New York City Parks Department.
Yeah, it was definitely a permitted event. And I don't think it blocked any traffic. Times square is where two major avenues cross at 42nd Street. Several blocks up at the top of the Times Square Area (where the streets begin to cross) is Duffy square. This is a pedestrian area.
George M Cohan the Broadway Actor/composer who wrote"Over There", "Give My Regards to Broadway", "The Yankee Doodle Boy" and "You're a Grand Old Flag" has a statue there. It's also where the TKTS discount ticket booth where you buy cheap tickets to shows that day is.
There's a massive set of bleachers set up there I think permanently
I think this is from 3 weeks ago.
Trump just held a Ramadan dinner in the White House two days ago, by the way.
No blocking traffic though. Thanks.

Thanks.
Was the Ramadan grilled, baked, broiled, or deep fried?
