Times Square

Central Park, Rockefeller Plaza, Radio City Music Hall, Fifth Avenue, Wall Street, Broadway, and Ellis Island are just a few of the must-see sites in New York City. The most renowned crossroads in the United States is Time Square, which is located in Midtown Manhattan at Broadway and Seventh Avenue. Commercial businesses, entertainment venues, hotels, and restaurants call it home. Times Square has also been dubbed "The Crossroads of the World", "The Center of the Universe", and "The Heart of The Great White Way". Every year, almost 50 million people, largely tourists, pass through the crossroads.

When The New York Times relocated its offices to Times Square in 1904, it was renamed Longacre Square. The renowned New Year's Eve event in Times Square, where the "ball is dropped" at midnight, has been staged since 1907. Every December 31, save during World War II, the yearly celebration attracts over a million guests. The area became seedy during the Great Depression but was revitalized in the 1990s. At ABC's Times Square Studios, "Good Morning America" is broadcast live. Times Square is famed for its dazzling advertising displays and neon and LED lights jumbotrons.
