Times Square is a vibrant public square and major intersection in the heart of Manhattan, located at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue. It is world-famous for its bright neon billboards, Broadway theaters, iconic restaurants, and countless shops and boutiques, making it one of New York City’s most recognizable landmarks. Times Square is often referred to as “The Great White Way” and “The Crossroads of the World.”

The square received its current name in 1904, when the headquarters of The New York Times moved to a building on 42nd Street. Soon after, the area began to evolve into one of the city’s primary centers for entertainment and nightlife.

Today, Times Square is among the most visited tourist attractions in the world, welcoming up to 50 million visitors each year. It is especially famous for its annual New Year’s Eve celebration, featuring the traditional descent of the crystal ball—an event that draws hundreds of thousands of spectators. The first ball drop took place in 1907, and the tradition has continued every year since.

Times Square is also a major venue for cultural events, concerts, and large-scale advertising campaigns, making it one of the most photographed places on the planet. In addition, it functions as an important economic and business hub of New York City, home to corporate offices, television studios, business centers, and numerous upscale hotels, including the New York Marriott Marquis.
