This is my second time to visit the New York Times Square. There are not many people on weekdays hence you can take good photos freely. In the government shut down, it is not really clean because I saw trash in some places and the employees are not working for the shut down.

I spend several minutes looking around at the buildings, people, advertisement on the screen, small attraction of talent by a group of people, people wearing cartoon costumes asking for people to take pictures. Be aware of those people. They will ask you for money once you have finished taking pictures with them.

I had time to shop several souvenirs located nearby the Times Square.
