Times Square
Times Square is a legendary NYC landmark, synonymous with all the glam and glitz of the Big Apple. It’s New York’s hub for flashing neon advertisements, Broadway’s famous theaters, rubbernecking tourists, and the ball drop on New Year’s Eve.
Of course, Times Square isn’t a square at all, but the triangular intersection of several main thoroughfares. Thankfully, Broadway is pedestrianised as it passes through Times Square, from 42nd to 47th Streets, with plaza seating allowing visitors to actually stop, look, and relax.
A visit to Times Square is an essential part of the New York experience, whether you come here to shop, dine, drink, see a show, or just gawp at the flurry of different architectural styles, spectacular neon signs, and bustling New Yorkers.
Practical Info
In the heart of Midtown Manhattan, Times Square is a triangular area formed by the intersection of 42nd Street, Seventh Avenue and Broadway.
It’s surrounded by several subway stations, including 49th Street, and Times Square/42nd Street, and the best way to experience Times Square is on foot.
