User Reviews for Times Square

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

You quickly find out why they call this the "Crossroads of the World", neon and huge TV screens explode with brightness along Broadway. How can you complain its too crowded? This is New York, baby.

Times Square is a rush if you haven't been there before. It overwhelms you. It engulfs you. It's an experience you'll never forget. A good place for Souvineers. Just a tip if you are buying any of the many T-shirts various venders are selling: The shirts with the ripped tags mean they were rejected at the factory, thus they have flaws. i.e. crooked lettering, etc. People can get a little pushy at times, so you'll need to have patience.

Pros: Great atmosphere

Times Square is GREAT! It is so bright and busy! There are so many shops and attractions! It is true, the city that doesn't sleep! But buy your souveniers elsewhere! You can find the same stuff on Canal Street at MUCH CHEAPER prices!

Pros: FUN, FUN, FUN

Cons: EXPENSIVE, EXPENSIVE, EXPENSIVE

The best cant get any better for cheap electric fun- good anytime you want to 'see NY' The shopping is getting more diverse but there are plenty of places to eat, play games, see shows...any place to relax? On a good day take the stroll down to 34th street, the walk is great. Lots of shops to relax, look....buy.....you have to do 'Macy's'. The art through that crowd, if your browsing, browse, dont let the bustle of the people disturb you, get into the groove, its not that bad being a transplant and see the city come alive.

Pros: the lights, the sounds, the people

I didn't really feel like I was in New York until I hit time square. Such an awesome feeling, quite exhilirating. Everyone should go there at least once and stay in a hotel somewhere near by.

I don't find any reason to go there. Lots of stores that have only one goal -- charge too much/rip off visitors

Cons: crowded, rip off stores

I had the pleasure of visiting NYC for 7 days this October 2002. What a wonderful time.Time Square has it all, we spent at least 5 nights at Time Square throughout are trip. I love that everyting is in walking distance! And yes, if you get a chance go see The Producers. The enviorment is family friendly, and I was never once aprehensive about going out walking at night. God willing, I will be back someday to enjoy all over again!

When to Go

The square's most famous tradition is the New Year's Eve ball drop, which began when the Times dropped an illuminated ball off its new building on Dec. 31, 1906.
