Broadway is increasingly being taken for a ride. “Rogue” pedicabs blasting New York-themed earworms around the theater district are causing chaos — interrupting Broadway performances, clogging sidewalk space and forcing theatergoers to weave dangerously around traffic, according to disgruntled locals and other drivers. The issue has gotten so out of control over the last year that some actors have started ad-libbing “Empire State of Mind” blasting from pedicabs outside shows, according to Kenneth Winter, a longtime driver and the spokesperson for the New York Pedicab Alliance.
