TIMES SQUARE
This 24-hour circus of towering billboards, hi-tech graphic displays, flashing lights, reeling numbered statistics, jam-packed intersections, and bewildered onlookers is the face of New York City, according to the rest of the world. Named for the old New York Times building at the intersection of 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue, Times Square is best known for it's New Year's Eve ball dropping tradition. Though the tag-team work of Giuliani and Disney to earn the place a PG rating has rendered Times Square to ain't-what-it-used-to-be status, the cleaner, tourist-friendly square remains a popular destination for millions. Today the neighborhood captures neither the pre-counterculture glitz of its glory days nor the perversely attractive smuttiness of its dog days—the million watt spectaculars, hookers, and heroin addicts have disappeared from sight, leaving towering billboards of corporate advertisers and jam packed double-decker buses.
