Named after the New York Times, which moved here in 1924, Times Square is a vibrant, neon-lit area in the heart of the Theater District. Once populated by peep shows and sex shops, it has undergone a complete image overhaul. Hotels, office towers and commercial businesses have sprung up. Disney has moved in, as well as Condé Nast. Megastores and theme restaurants have also set up shop. Times Square remains the city’s favorite venue for New Year’s Eve, where a huge street party is highlighted by a glitter ball dropped from Times Tower.

"A must-see for New York vistors. Hustle, bustle, lights, taxis, stores, restaurants galore! A New York landmark. Close to the theater district. At ten o’clock at night I thought it was the middle of the day because it was so light out."

"AMAZING – Pictures cannot do it justice. You must experience the lights, hustle and bustle of this amazing spot! During the day or at night – and go to Toys R Us to get your picture on their digital billboard in Times Square!"
