The most popular attraction in New Yorck City is not the Statue of
Liberty but Times Square. 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. 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 and hordes
of tourist, local and foriegn alike and since I was on a revisit here,
will post more picture and tips here.
