I know this reply is a bit dated -- since this video was posted some five years ago, however, I just got around to watching some of your older videos, so I'd like to address the question you posed as to the "spoiler alert". Since you appear -- as usual, as your beautiful self throughout, the only possible "spoiler" I spotted was, what appears to be, a homeless person crashed out on the sidewalk with an umbrella, artfully Macgyvered, and perching above their head. This individual can be seen immediately from the opening frame off to the bottom right field of the shot. And while I can understand you not wanting this individual -- in a sense, photobombing your photo shoot, sadly, the homeless are ubiquitous in NYC and other large cities in America, and -- by and large, many Americans have steeled themselves to blocking out the sight of them and marginalizing them to being invisible -- which may partially explain why it took so long for someone to answer your "spoiler alert" question. Well, that and -- let's face it, all eyes are on you and the bright lights of Times Square! But let's hope that, in the near future the politicians can tap into their humanity and a solution to the homelessness crisis here in America can finally be achieved I love all your travel vlogs Lena, and hope to see more of your adventures in the future. Stay safe, be well, and continue enjoying life!

Not long after posting the above comment, I saw this story on one of my favorite show's CBS Sunday Morning, and couldn't resist sending it to you. The first part speaks to getting people to look downward and see the invisible homeless in NYC and recognize their humanity -- which is what I was referencing above, and the bulk of the segment deals with the incredibly talented Italian sculptor Jago who created the sculpture. Knowing that Art is your field of work and of great passion to you I just had to share this story. Ciao!! kzitem.info/news/bejne/tKqMymaPhYuhqZw

Exactly. So beautifully said, and thank you. You know what's the worst part? We didn't notice him in the frame until I started editing the videos we shot that night. This is so NYC-looking up at the shiny stuff without noticing what's going on right under your feet. I guess the homeless have become such a part of the New York cityscape that they've indeed become invisible. That is one sad "spoiler alert"
