Brightly lit at all hours by numerous digital billboards and advertisements as well as businesses offering 24/7 service, Times Square is sometimes referred to as "the Crossroads of the World",[2] "the Center of the Universe",[3] "the heart of the Great White Way",[4][5][6] “the Center of the Entertainment Universe”,[7] and "the heart of the world".[8]
One of the world's busiest pedestrian areas,[9] it is also the hub of the Broadway Theater District[10] and a major center of the world's entertainment industry.[11] Times Square is one of the world's most visited tourist attractions, drawing an estimated 50 million visitors annually.[12] Approximately 330,000 people pass through Times Square daily,[13] many of them tourists,[14] while over 460,000 pedestrians walk through Times Square on its busiest days.[8] The Times Square-42nd Street station has consistently ranked as the busiest in the New York City Subway system, transporting more than 200,000 passengers daily.[15]
Formerly known as Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed in 1904 after The New York Times moved its headquarters to the then newly erected Times Building, now One Times Square.[16] It is the site of the annual New Year's Eve ball drop, which began on December 31, 1907, and continues to attract over a million visitors to Times Square every year,[17] in addition to a worldwide audience of one billion or more on various digital media platforms.[18]
Times Square, specifically the intersection of Broadway and 42nd Street, is also the eastern terminus of the Lincoln Highway, the first road across the United States for motorized vehicles.

Beautiful well lit up city with so many things to see, try, buy, and eat. The lights are inspiring and those tall buildings hover over you so big and tall! Street food is always amazing and don’t forget to try the New York pizza!
Had a beautiful time nice atmosphere and so much to see
Typically not too busy on a normal day of the week. Super busy on holidays and special occasions! Gotta love TS in NY! must visit! Crazynightlife and lifestyle!
Part of Times Square, the epic center of NY entertainment district.
Came here quite a few times already (1981, 2004, 2006, and most recently 2018) with family and friends. The latest during our road trip to NY 2018. The nightlife is breathtaking (came here right after watching a Broadway show) and the next day during the day. Lots of entertainment to see for free. It can be quite overwhelming, so we purposely chose to come during the non-rush hour weekday. My wife and grown-up kids enjoyed the scene.
