America's Most Visited Tourist Site
Neon lights, street music, the crowds, the energy — Times Square is America's
most visited tourist site and one of the world's most exciting destinations.
It's our favorite place to people-watch, especially after midnight.
Located in the heart of the Theater District — Broadway & 7th
Ave from
42nd-47th Streets — Times Square is home to top hotels, Broadway Shows and
off-Broadway Theaters, cinemas, restaurants (of every kind), cafes, delis, tons
of specialty
shops, and more!
Pedestrian Plazas
— Times Square & Herald Square
— Car-Free Broadway
On Sunday, May 24, 2009 (Memorial Day Weekend), New York City
began converting part of Broadway into a pedestrian plaza by
closing two sections of Broadway to vehicles — (Times Square)
from 47th to 42nd Streets and (Herald Square) 35th to 33rd Streets
in an attempt to improve traffic flow.
