Perhaps one of the busiest places I have ever visited, Times Square is filled to the brim with digital signs. Despite the name, Times Square is a junction, where Broadway and 7th Avenue meet. It is one of the places to visit if you ever go to New York. Theatres, restaurants, and shops line the sides, and in the centre is the TKTS booth, from which you can buy mega cheap theatre tickets. But beware, you will be in for a long wait as the queues become ridiculously long unless you get there early.
Times Square wasn't always the happy lively landmark it is today. During the 1930s it was rife with crime and was a dangerous place to be. During the 60s and 70s, Times Square was notoriously known for its x-rated shows, bookshops, and movie theatres. Only in the early 80s did the clean up begin, and the transformation to what it is now.
