Times square is getting busier so maybe everything is getting in the right way of stabilization the economy. Hope we all do fine and enjoy this place again in the normal way. Stay safe.

It was amazing. I'm an out-of-towner from Atlanta Georgia and I had the best time of my life even though I didn't get to see much cuz it was so late at night everything was closing but the lights and the people was fantastic they were nice and I would love to come back and check it out again going to daytime

As a tourist I m giving this 5 stars as there is no better way to introduce yourself to New York then going to Times Square and see the big apple all lit up. Get a hot dog and do some people watching. Once your bored with all that, plenty of shops to keep you entertained. If I was a local I would avoid this place like the plague lol

Its Times Square. Packed full of people and 1/3 of them are smoking cigarettes. The smell was enough to make you vomit. But, its one of those touristy things you have to do when visiting Manhattan - walk through Times Square, not vomit (unless you want to). Its brightly lit up at night, a site to see. But to each their iwn.

Nice!

Times Square is a major commercial intersection, tourist destination, entertainment center, and neighborhood in the Midtown Manhattan section of New York City, at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue. Brightly lit by numerous billboards and advertisements, it stretches from West 42nd to West 47th Streets, and is sometimes referred to as "the Crossroads of the World", "the Center of the Universe", "the heart of the Great White Way", and "the heart of the world". One of the world's busiest pedestrian areas, it is also the hub of the BroadwayTheater District and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. Times Square is one of the world's most visited tourist attractions, drawing an estimated 50 million visitors annually. Approximately 330,000 people pass through Times Square daily, many of them tourists, while over 460,000 pedestrians walk through Times Square on its busiest days.
Formerly known as Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed in 1904 after The New York Times moved its headquarters to the then newly erected Times Building, now One Times Square. It is the site of the annual New Year's Eve ball drop, began on December 31, 1907, which continues to attract over a million visitors to Times Square every year.

Times Square functions as a town square, but is not geometrically a square; it is closer in shape to a bowtie, with two triangles emanating roughly north and south from 45th Street,[16] where Seventh Avenue intersects Broadway. Broadway runs diagonally, crossing through the horizontal and vertical street gridof Manhattan laid down by the Commissioners' Plan of 1811, and that intersection creates the "bowtie" shape of Times Square.

The southern triangle of Times Square has no specific name, but the northern triangle is called Father Duffy Square. It was dedicated in 1937 to Chaplain Francis P. Duffy of New York City's U.S. 69th Infantry Regiment and is the site of a memorial to him, along with a statue of George M. Cohan, and the TKTS ticket booth.

Times Square is impressive because of the height of the buildings. It's smaller than what I thought though, basically it's one main street. I am generally not into big cities and I had great time there.

It's a melting pot of cultures. The air is so vibrant, filled with energy and enthusiasm. It's a place apart from any other. The place is so bright and colourful, huge bright LED displays all around creates a surreal surrounding, u can spend much time just gazing around taking in the sights and sounds in this timeless place.

Love times square, get lost and discover, window shop, catch a Broadway show, capture some good pics, go to M&M. DO NOT TALK TO STRANGERS. SAY NO TO TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS WITH FANCILY DRESSED PEOPLE.

Super fun! Lights, cameras and plenty of action as Times Square sets the stage for many Broadway plays. People galore added to the spirit of New York! Night time feels like day time with the flashy ads lighting up the streets. Safe and clean area of the city.

The centre of the unofficial (or maybe the official, if you ask one of the local New Yorker) Capital City of the world.. Neon city like no other, with plenty of interesting characters, advertising and a 3 story high M&M store, with Broadway to add to the entertainment..

Pictures and film just cannot do it justice. Boots on the ground, Time Square exceeds expectations. Its bigger and brighter than i though it could be. We saw one show (Lion King) and stayed one day. I could easily spend more time there.

So fun, not overcrowded. So many lights and so much energy. Family friendly, be mindful of traffic when crossing and don t be too concerned with the police presence. The NYPD are so good at what they do.

It's impossible to get bored in Times Square NYC. I love looking at all the bright lights and advertisements, but there's also a lot of really cool shopping experiences and good food right in the area. Don't pass up taking time to hang around Times Square if you get the chance!

A National attraction. It really looks better in person than what you see on TV. Lots of shops in the area and plenty of food choices. There are street entertainers throughout the area.

Iconic Time Square, never sleeps! Many lights, and as seen on TV. Many events, tons of food, people, if you go late night theres not so much people. Overall it's an amazing display of bright advertising!

Interesting to see, but doesn't meet the hype. Some cool buskers and street performers but mired by rogues pushing their cds and other junk on tourists. Go once but expect to be a little disappointed, nothing like the movies would have you thinking...

Bustling famed Theatre District in Manhattan. One of the iconic photo spots whenever you're in New York. Almost always choked by buskers, tourists and locales. Notable stores include Old Navy, H&M, Forever 21, Gap, American Eagle etc. Fairly good range of restaurants available here too, with Red Lobster, Olive Garden, TGI Fridays counted amongst the number.

The lights are beautiful! It looks like it's daytime from all of the bright lights. It gets crowded but you can usually find a place to sit. The shops around are interesting and there's always something going on. Avoid taking pictures with anyone, they will try to hurt you even if you pay them; they always seem to want more money.

Pretty awesome until a dude in a Mickey Mouse costume kidnaps you. Just kidding, this place is awesome. The restaurants are great and the street art is amazing. It s a must see in New York.

Ok. So. There's lots of digital screens. Lots of people. Lots of shops. Lots of people. Lots of broadcasting companies. Lots of people.
I do swear that this is not an attempt at being trite.
It's very clean. Very pretty. But, there a lack of soul you'll find in other parts of the city.

Times Square is ok and a must see whilst in New York. It's very busy and bustling. Lots of street entertainment and kiosks. You do pay more if you eat or drink around here. Looks great at night. Bit too busy for me personally, prefer quieter places. Lots to see and do around here though. Shows, entertainment, bars and restaurants.

Well, if you a tourist you definitely should visit Time Square at least once to witness something you won't see anywhere else. If you live in New York City then you definitely know how annoying are crowded places where you can't normally breathe due to lack of oxygen. Had an impression going here only once then it just doesn't seems like it's the right place you should visit.

Most important place Downtown NYC. Is the center of the capital of the world. As you saw it in every movie, series and musicals video. Time square is the light that will always make NYC beautiful. You have the opportunity to eat, buy and explore all the companies and seller arround it. From pizza places to nintendo. All in one .

Times Square... A tourist destination, entertainment center , shops and vendors for bus tours ...It's a must do on a NYC trip... Great restaurants like Planet Hollywood, Stardust, Hard Rock Cafe and many others..Very close is the theatre district hosting the best Broadway shows ..
You have photo opportunities with The "Naked Cowboy" and the naked girls ( ! )Spiderman, Disney characters and The Statue of Liberty (!) willing to make a selfie with you and get a few bucks :)
Sit on the " Red Steps " and watch all the huge colorful neons, and folks from all around the world..
Shop at the "souvenir shops" around , don't forget to bargain :))

Does Times Square need a review? If you haven t seen it you should. If you ve seen it... it probably hasn t changed much.

Beware of tourist trap restaurants (as prices are incredibly inflated and quality isn t very high) and services nearby.

The square is pretty iconic, and moderately tourist-y. Nice views, usually quite crowded, and the street artists and vendors actually on the square are a bit pricey compared to those elsewhere in the city, but that's to be expected at a tourist location. Come for the pictures, but buy your "I love NY" t-shirts elsewhere.
