PRAYER FOR TOURISTS

I've been passing this poster for years in the window of the Blarney Rock Pub on 33rd Street in Manhattan. The other day after a series of humorous incidents involving tourists, I thought I'd snap a shot of the "Prayer for Tourists," which has probably been hanging in the bar's window for decades.

It was penned from a local's point of view, rather than from a tourists point of view. It's more or less a locals take on how tourists act and behave when they arrive in New York City or for that matter any other tourist town in the World.
