Times Square, New York (show location) Share

Times Square
Times Square is the quintessential New York City image which is the culmination of lights, glitz and the commercial prowess of this capitalist city. Huge billboards with brilliant lights adorn the buildings of some of the most expensive advertising spaces in the country, and indeed the world. Today environmentally friendly billboards powered by solar and wind energy are being incorporated. Formerly Times Square was a run down place overrun with the drugs and crime. Today it has been completely transformed with its glitzy veneer. The much photographed Flatiron building, the Theatre District and the Hard Rock Café can all be visited here. Stop by the TKTS booth in Times Square to get 25-50% discounts on tickets to Broadway and off-Broadway shows.
Every December 31, thousands of people head down to Times Square to ring in the New Year and watch the ball drop over the Flatiron building.
