Demonstrations are expected today in NYC at Times Square and a march thereafter to the Egyptian mission on the East Side of Manhattan in solidarity with the anti-Mubarak protesters.

The rally will start at 3:30 pm. Protesters are expected to march to the Egyptian Consulate on 59th Street and 2nd Avenue. A large enough crowd could complicate the evening commute for those trying to escape the city via the 59th Street bridge.

The larger rally in Cairo has been dubbed by protesters there as “the day of departure.” They are hoping to get Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to step down.
