Grammar
Something touristy
Does this make sense? Is it natural to say "but not something touristy" and "not in a touristy way"
What do you think it means to say "not something touristy"
1 The client wants picture at Times Square but not something touristy.
A photographer says this to a client.
2 Do you want to take photos at Times Square but not in a touristy way.
Thank you

Anonymous The client wants picture at Times Square but not something touristy. This is fine. 'not something touristy' ~ not a picture that contains the typical content that a tourist would take a picture of Anonymous not in a touristy way.
