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 Conde 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.
It is a major intersection in Manhattan, New York City at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets. The Times Square area consists of the blocks between Sixth and Eighth Avenues from east to west, and West 40th and West 53rd Streets from south to north, making up the western part of the commercial area of Midtown Manhattan.
Smaller than Red Square in Moscow, the Puerta del Sol in Madrid, Champs-Elysées in Paris, Trafalgar Square in London, and Tiananmen Square in Beijing, Times Square has nonetheless achieved the status of an iconic world landmark and has become a symbol of its home city. Times Square is principally defined by its animated, digital advertisements.

 me at times square by traveloturc
In the 1980's redevelopment proposals were submitted, with little result. This changed a decade later, when the Walt Disney Company opened a Disney store on Times Square. This attracted more family-friendly businesses to the area, leading to a so-called 'Disneyfication'.The area is - like most of New York City - a lot safer now than in the early nineties and is once again a magnet for tourists and a center of New York's social scene.

This heart of the Theater District is another symbol of New York. Looks wonderful with all the neons at night. It's always full of tourists and busy New Yorkers.

Times Square is one of New York’s iconic images, a place where you can experience the swirl of light of NYC, they said no visit in NY with out seeing the busiest center of Manhattan. Full of light, theaters, music hall, hotels, signage, commercial business and so much more.
You can be seen here the different faces of tourists, crowded, heard different languages and different tactics to make some money.
It is one of the boast attractions where tourist would love to see the light of Manhattan, as well as for those who have a kids like me bring them in Toy R’ Us and Hershey’s store, got a chance for adult to see in real the ABC studio, Virgin records and more interesting that you’ve seen only on TV.

We went to Times Square two times, once during the day and once by night. It is very crowded and busy. The most special thing for us was the M&M's shop. We just loved it and bought so many gadgets we never even knew they existed. Leave a Comment Directions: 42nd Street, Brodway & 7th avenue

This is the tourist trap to beat all tourist traps but if you go to New York and miss Times Square well you will kick yourself for getting so close and missing out on.... a ton of advertisements. This place has no charisma at all but we needed to see it. Can only recommend as we did, walk through Times Square en route to your next destination and get outta there fast. The pics actually look more impressive than my memories.
I think we just found many more places with more heart and soul than Times Square. Leave a Comment Directions: 42nd Street, Brodway & 7th avenue
