Times Square New York - You need to see it to believe it!

times square new yorkIt was 7:30 PM on a summer evening, darkness was falling, and three hillbillies from Tennessee climbed the stairs from the New York City Subway to the lights of Times Square.... It was a sight to see (I am talking about it being a sight to see the three of us standing there with our mouths hanging open)....then to top it all off, my 12 year old daughter, Amanda says.... THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO LIVE!!!!  She will probably do it too.....stay tuned....

Times Square is home to 22 Landmark Broadway Theaters (Be sure to check out our New York City Broadway Shows adventure), music and live entertainment, great restaurants, and fabulous shopping, but it also has a very rich history. 

 

times square new yorkTimes Square was originally named Longacre Square, and did not take on its name of Times Square until 1904.  In 1904 then name was changed to Times Square to commemorate the official opening of the new headquarters of the New York Times.  At that time, Times Square New York had already been established as an entertainment mecca, and carries on that tradition today. 

Wile visiting Times Square, we enjoyed the huge Toys-R-Us store, which features a 60 ft tall indoor Ferris Wheel, but mostly we just enjoyed seeing the sights of Times Square New York.
