This was also the building where the tradition of the annual New Year\u2019s Eve ball drop was started.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after The New York Times moved to Times Square, the first electrified advertisement popped up in the square. In the roaring 1920s, Times Square became the new cultural center of New York City, as it filled with theaters, hotels and music halls. This is also when famous performers such as Charlie Chaplin and Fred Astaire regularly paid a visit to the gorgeous stages in Times Square.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays, Times Square refers to both the famous intersection and the surrounding neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan. The official Times Square area stretches from approximately West 42nd Street to West 47th Street, between Broadway and 7th Avenue. The northern triangular section of the square is known as Duffy Square, which was named in honor of Chaplain Francis P. Duffy, a celebrated World War I chaplain of the \u201cFighting 69th\u201d Infantry Regiment. Today, Duffy Square is one of the most recognizable parts of Times Square, home to the iconic red steps above the TKTS booth, where visitors can purchase discounted Broadway tickets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What to See and Do in Times Square<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_22464\" style=\"width: 1470px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22464\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-22464 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Pedestrian-Plaza-in-Times-Square-New-York-City.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1470\" height=\"980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Pedestrian-Plaza-in-Times-Square-New-York-City.jpg 1470w, https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Pedestrian-Plaza-in-Times-Square-New-York-City-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Pedestrian-Plaza-in-Times-Square-New-York-City-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Pedestrian-Plaza-in-Times-Square-New-York-City-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1470px) 100vw, 1470px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22464\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The pedestrian plaza in Times Square, Manhattan [Photo credit: Martin Sanchez\/Unsplash]<\/p><\/div>When you\u2019re in New York City and want to visit the square, you can easily catch a subway to the massive Times Square subway station. The 1, 2, 3, 7, N, Q and R trains all stop at Times Square. If you visit the square during the day, first take some time to soak up the bustling vibe. Sit on the red stairs to get a great view of the hustle and bustle in the square, or take a seat at one of the public chairs at the pedestrian plaza to be right in the middle of it all. Visiting Times Square at nighttime is also worth it, as you\u2019ll see all the billboards light up even more brightly than during the day. Do prepare yourself for the crowds, as no matter if it\u2019s nighttime or day, it will be crowded in the square.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s perfectly fine to take photos and embrace your inner tourist, after all, almost everyone does!

The selection of the Broadway musicals changes through the years, but the beautiful theaters and great quality of the shows always remains. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, hit Broadway shows such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harry Potter and the Cursed Child<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wicked<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hamilton<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aladdin<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Great Gatsby<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are just a small selection of what the Theater District around Times Square has to offer.

TKTS sells same-day tickets and next-day matinee tickets to a wide selection of Broadway and Off-Broadway productions at discounts of up to 50% off. Availability varies daily, so being flexible with your choice of show can help you score a great deal on a first-class Broadway performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re looking to save money, consider seeing a comedy show instead of a Broadway production. The Times Square area is home to several renowned comedy clubs featuring everything from rising comedians to well-known headliners. Be sure to book your tickets through the venue&#8217;s official website or another trusted ticket provider, and check recent reviews before purchasing to find the show that&#8217;s right for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There are also a number of <strong>movie theaters<\/strong> collected around Times Square. Along West 42nd Street between 7th Avenue and 8th Avenue you\u2019ll find two massive movie theaters: The Regal and AMC Empire 25. Both show the latest blockbusters and also boast IMAX 3D screens.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, don&#8217;t miss Madame Tussauds New York, a fun attraction in the heart of Times Square where you can pose with incredibly lifelike wax figures of celebrities, athletes, musicians, and historical icons.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Year-round Events in Times Square<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_22473\" style=\"width: 1374px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22473\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-22473 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/macys-thenksgiving-parade-new-york-city.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1374\" height=\"1030\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/macys-thenksgiving-parade-new-york-city.jpg 1374w, https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/macys-thenksgiving-parade-new-york-city-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/macys-thenksgiving-parade-new-york-city-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nyhabitat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/macys-thenksgiving-parade-new-york-city-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1374px) 100vw, 1374px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22473\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Participants of the annual Macy\u2019s Thanksgiving Parade!
