Times Square

Times Square has evolved from a theater district in the early 20th century to a global hub of entertainment, tourism, and commerce. Once gritty in the 1970s, it was revitalized in the 1990s and further transformed by the recent initiatives to pedestrianize Broadway. This change created more public space, making it a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly area. Famous for its billboards, Broadway shows, and New Year's Eve events, Times Square symbolizes New York's energy and innovation.
