It’s among the most iconic spots in one of the most famous cities on earth; Times Square is a commercial intersection, but it’s also a tourist hub, workplace and entertainment venue. Pulsating with life 24/7, its neon lightbulbs, soaring skyscraper and billboards roar with 21st-century life, as seen in countless TV shows and movies. The square is named after The New York Times, which took up residence on a building overlooking it in 1904. Found where Broadway meets 7th Avenue, Times Square is an unbeatable location for shoppers, theatre-goers and those wanting to soak in the Big Apple’s big personality.
