They then stopped traffic coming down both 7th Avenue and Broadway, and all parked at angles to the curb, forming a wall of police cars on both sides of 7th Avenue and Broadway from 42nd Street to at least 44th Street, and maybe beyond.

I didn't stick around to see what was going on, and I saw nothing in the NY Times or the Post this morning. Anyone have any idea what was going on?

Probably an emergency drill or a preparedness exercise. Happens frequently in my town, usually at night.
