Although much smaller than other major landmarks in the world (Tiananmen Square in China, the Red Square in Moscow, and the Champs-Elysées in Paris), Times Square is nonetheless an iconic and cultural center as much as any. Theaters, chic hotels, music centers and performance halls make Times Square a must-visit in any traveler's itinerary. 

There is never a dull moment in New York City's Times Square. From the famous jumbotron billboards, skyscrapers, bars, restaurants, and the Broadway and off-Broadway shows to the colorful characters that are present day or night. 

Times Square is named after the Times Building, the headquarters of The New York Times, though it is also called "The Crossroads of the World" and as the site of the city's Theater District, "The Great White Way." With the density of billboard and neon signs that rivals that of Las Vegas, Times Square actually has zoning ordinances that require buidling to have illuminated signs. The more famous of the signs include the Toshiba billboard and the NASDAQ sign that spans seven stories of the NASDAQ Market Site. 

By subway: A, C, E go to the Port Authority & connect to the 1, 2, 3, 9, N, Q, R, W, S & 7 at Times Sq. By bus: M1-7, M10, M20, M27, and M104, & the M42, M50, M57 crosstown.
