The USB cables that I had were beginning to fail, so I set aside today for looking for a new one. I had a nice lazy morning, and then made my way towards the Times Square plaza/mall.
The walk took me through chinatown, and I tried many different stores looking for cables, and just before I reached the Times Square I noticed a shop that did phone and camera accessories and computer bits so I went there, and managed to find a reasonable cable for a good price
I continued to the mall after buying the cable anyway, and found that it was mostly bars rather than useful shops! All of the beers here were super expensive so I decided not to have anything. The rea outside had two giant Transformer statues made out of old car parts, and a taxi driver was trying to persuade me that I wanted a lift.
I joked with him that I'd only take a taxi if it was one of the transformers, and he laughed.
