It's not always tourists but stopping in unexpected places is a common irritation in NYC. Like, they're walking on the sidewalk and just stop, and mess up the flow of foot traffic. Maybe to look at their map or to gawk at something. It's extra annoying and a little dangerous when it's on the stairs
That was my mother, in train stations etc where literally everyone is trying to get to somewhere else. Get to the bottom of the stairs, STOP and look around for the next direction sign. STOP in the entrance to bathrooms to decide her next steps.
