Times Square, the Most Iconic Spot in Ne

Times Square is one of the most iconic places to visit in New York. As a tourist or first time visitor to New York, Times Square feels like stepping into a movie as it’s a place we’ve all seen a million times in movies and TV. Stepping foot there in reality though, is quite a visceral and surreal experience, especially because its pretty much exactly as you imagine it to be. Huge crowds of people walking briskily to places they need to be, tons of gridlocked traffic going in every direction you can see, construction happening somewhere in the distance, the smell of New York hot dogs on the road side and fresh strong coffee being made down an alleyway, all against the backdrop of the iconic neon lights and billboards that we all know of Times Square. Even though its common knowledge that the locals don’t spend much time here, there’s also a million activities to do if you’re a tourist, many flagship stores, shopping, merchandise, souvenirs and restaurants, bars, pubs and cafes line the streets of Times Square as well as many other tourist attractions. #newyork #timessquare #awesomepic #nyedestinations #travelinspiration #neoncities #summervacation#hotelstay#urbanexplorer
