Office Space - Times Square, NYC

One word describes Times Square to any tourist, and even locals: Wow. Here, mega-billboards decorate the otherwise dull skyscrapers as commercial enterprises meet the major theaters from Broadway. This conglomeration of brightly-lit billboards is no coincidence – it is, in fact, made compulsory by Manhattan’s governing body!

The Square can be said to be the icon of the United States – as the vanguard and harbinger of Capitalism and Democracy, The area seem to say it all through just pictures alone, with its billboards, bustling streets and theaters.  Indeed, the theaters are one of the main draw of neighborhood. Broadway theaters host the biggest stage productions in the world, and these performances by talented actors and actresses will definitely have audiences entranced with their plays.

Expensive shops also dot T. Square – designer boutiques, novelty stores and branded designer brands all line Times Square as brand-conscious and affluent customers visit these stores to supplement their need for prestige.

The most prominent characteristic of neighborhood, however, is the raucous New Year’s Eve celebrations. Over a million people gather here during the last day of the year, awaiting the fabled T. Square Ball Drop. The atmosphere there is not to be missed by any tourist planning to get the most out of their New Year trip to New York.
