The location of New Year Eve’s biggest party, and home to hundreds of shops, restaurants, and super-stores. Times Square epitomizes the New York label of “the city that never sleeps.” Lit brightly up at night with signs and people that hustle and bustle. Times Square was named after the New York Times company, which moved to this location in 1924.

Tips:

In terms of dining, there is rarely a good find in Times Square, home to bad food and exhorbitant prices. However, if you are stuck hungry in the area, walk a few blocks north to 46th Street, between 8th and 9th Aves. This section of Manhattan is aptly named “Restaurant Row.” Prices are not exceptionally good, but the food is noticeably better than those tourist traps in the heart of Times Square.
Oh, and need to use a restroom? The Times Square Visitor Center has well stocked ones.
