Favorite thing: Time Square
The Times Square was named after the New York Times tower in 1904. With the new subways, thousands of commuters came to the 42nd street to watch the Broadway shows, and the entire area flourished to become a Theater District.
The annual New Year's Eve ball dropping event was a tradition that started with the Times celebrating its move in with a huge fire display and the dropping of an illuminated ball.

Favorite thing: Hang out in Times Square. After you hit all the shops and restaraunts and take all your pictures of the ad's just stand on the island that splits Broadway at 43rd street and watch it all happen!! And check out the HOT cops!!!
Fondest memory: My favorite thing was just walking around with my best friend, bundled up as much as we could be since it was 9 degrees and stopping in Starbucks every couple blocks to get warm. I always miss the subways!!! I miss not having to drive everyday, and just people watching and seeing how different we all are.

Favorite thing: The very cool place in New York City it's surely Time Squares. It's very cool to be there because there's a lot of pepole and tourist, and... you know.. It's NEW YORK.
Fondest memory: I don't have very a BEST moment, but just to walk in Manhattan and in Downtown.. it's very cool.

Favorite thing: Definitely visit Times Square. Always busy, this is the heart of the city, filled with gigantic TV screens and huge advertisements that all beacon for your attention. Most of the major TV networks have offices here and also is home for the NASDAQ exchange.

Favorite thing: visit Times Square, Chinatown, Little Italy, Soho, & Broadway. The buildings, people, and the city's energy are all incredible. There are no words to describe New York City adequately. It's the most exciting place in the world!
Fondest memory: Flying by the Statue of Liberty.

Favorite thing: Check out Times Square - its awesome
Check out 5th Avenue for the shops such as Tiffany and Co, Banana Republic, Fao Schwartz etc
Fondest memory: Tiffany and Co - reminded me of Breakfast at Tiffany's with Audrey Hepburn which happens to be one of my favourite films.
