Welcome to the heartbeat of NYC

Known as the crossroads of the world, Times Square is the most recognized and travelled destination in New York City.  Times Square is a center for tourists and commuters headed to work during the week and the theater crowd and tourists on weekends and evenings.  One of the world’s busiest pedestrian intersections with 800,000 people walking through each day and adorned with plazas Times Square is known as the best location in the United States to put on an event.  This junction of Broadway & 7th Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Street includes Father Duffy Square, Military Island and other pedestrian plazas perfect for an experiential event.  
Nothing can prepare you for the sensory overload the first time you step into Times Square. The sidewalks are filled with a tremendous concentration of humanity—roughly 800,000 pedestrians pass through every day—and the intersection's high-wattage marquees ensure that it's always bright, even late at night. Named for The New York Times, whose 1 Times Square address served as the newspaper's headquarters from 1904 to 1913, the area is now an entertainment district and business hub, serviced by one of the busiest subway stations in the world. During the latter half of the 20th century the neighborhood turned seedy, but over the past two decades it has become a safe, family-friendly destination that no visitor will want to miss.
