Of course, there are a million words written elsewhere about Times Square New York, Manhattan’s flickering neon heart and the hub of all things theatrical.

The Crossroads of the World - Times Square is a major center of the globe's entertainment industry, all things Broadway, the bright lights of fashion and finance - you can find nothing lacking in the heart of the Great White Way. Almost half a million people walk through the area daily, and it averages 50 million visitors annually.
