Hi all Steemians, all my friends! I am glad to show you my pics from Times Square! 👋 👋 👋
Since my childhood I had a dream ( I guess most people have the same one ), one day to have the chance to visit Times Square. As you know that if a person sets goals, and is persistent, so the definiteness of purpose leads to success. Someone might call it the Law of Universe, Law of Attraction, Master Key to Riches etc., but to be honest it looks like in most cases it works. You might know that I spent 5 years of my life in this amazing city, so I have collected thousands of pics, and I am glad to be able to share some of them with YOU! Hope you will like my pics, it is a great inspiration to get some feedback, comments, and keep in mind, that any type of comments is welcome!!! 😊
Times Square
Some first hand info:
Times Square aka as "The Crossroads of the World" or "The Center of the Universe" is located in the very heart of Manhattan, between West 42nd and West 47th Streets and the junction of 7th Avenue and Broadway.
Long time back it was called Longacre Square, but in 1904 the highly respected US daily newspaper The New York Times moved its headquarter to the square, that subsequently was renamed to Times Square.
My advice is:
It is highly recommendable to approach Times Square from South, that means just take a walk along 7-th Avenue or Broadway. The main reason is the One Times Building with the New Year Eve ball drop that stays in the popular culture as the hallmark of the Square.
So if go from South to North you will be slowly approaching it as you are facing it at the same time.
First time, when I came to Times Square I did exactly the opposite...I came from North direction to the South, namely from Columbus Circle to Times Square. Undoubtedly I was left with unforgettable impressions, but for sure had I known it before, wouldn't have done it that way.
Getting closer to the "Crossroads of the World". Just one block off the intersection of Broadway with 7-th Avenue.
For sure it is the busiest place not just in NYC, but in the whole USA. Whenever person comes to Times Square starts realizing that the saying "The City That Never Sleeps" is absolutely correct. The other four busy areas in NYC I would say are Lower Manhattan with the Financial District, Union Square, Columbus Circle and Park Avenue around Grand Central.
Madame Tussauds Museum opened in 2000.
Keep in mind that now big parts of the streets are converted into pedestrian friendly areas. Times Square underwent a big transformation few years ago and by 2014-2015 big sections here become pedestrian.
This is the biggest concentration of digital screens & Billboards, I have anywhere seen at that time ( Hong Kong is a match. Dare to say is even more flashy, lively and vibrant ). Have not been to Mainland China, Korea, Japan, so can't compare with these countries, but know that they might be the champions in that nowadays.
Most Broadway theaters, cinemas are located in the area nearby, some of them are located right on the Square on the ground floors of the Office Buildings and Hotel Buildings.
What I like in NYC is the huge number of street musicians, showmen and actors interacting with the people right on the streets, on the subway platforms, or even in the subway cars.

That's me!
I remember the first time at a dusk I walked out of the Skyscrapers jungle onto Time Square. I had the feeling it is not the real world, it might be the Matrix...
Later on I got used to it, so there were days when I was just on a daily basis passing by, but my admiration never ceased to exist.
I could post here pics of some more popular billboards, but decided to stop on this one. It shows a girl waving at the people, who walk down on the streets, and you can see your reflection on the screen in a live format.
Believe it or not the street vendors are here 24/7!!!

Times Square and the yellow cabs, the symbol of NYC.
My last shot of the majestic, vibrant, diverse, futuristic, the best of the best, TIMES SQUARE!!!
p.S: All pics were taken 7 years ago.

I personally like the tall buildings and how busy the area actually feels. It is really a nice place to visit base on all what you said.
I wish you to have the chance to visit it, the feeling is different than the one you get from the pics.

Times Square is amazing. NYC is amazing.

Started to read your post but after a minute I was just looking at the photos. Really good because you give us the feeling of being there.
Is this your favorit big city? I loved Paris most. And Dallas was awesome!
I am now a new follower of you.
@svensson kryptopia
Hi @minimining, I have visited few times Paris, Dallas never. I just like new futuristic cities, thats why NYC is on my top.

lovely series of photos you took. I was in Times Square many years ago and it was certainly an awesome experience! thanks for sharing. (claudiaz)
Thanks @claudiaz for your comment. I have a question: did T.Square meet your expectations, e.g by size, by people traffic, hustle and bustle, concentration of many billboards?
Posted using Partiko Android
yes, I suppose it did. I went there only because its a site all other tourists visit I am not much of a city person myself. But I did enjoy it and I am glad I saw it.
From you photos I see you were there in the summer. New Years Eve is the time to go and have a great time.
Yeap, you are right, so pity I dont have pics from New Year Eve's Times Square, never went to celebrate it there...unfortunately
Posted using Partiko Android
It is great city and definitelly worth of visiting. But I cannot imagine myself living in NYC. I am glad for my much more quiet city. Kryptonia ID @hairyfairy .
@hairyfairy, where are you living? Is your city really a very very small? I am on the opposite, I like the hustle and bustle, snd all crazy traffic!
Posted using Partiko Android
It's not small at all, my city Brno, Czech Republic, has 400 thousands inhabitants, its size is appropriate for me.
Yeap, not a small at all. I guess it should be like a smaller Prague? Is there a broad river in the city?
Posted using Partiko Android
Oh no, Prague is the only one. Brno lies on confluence of rivers Svratka and Svitava, none of them flows through the center of the city, but they were important for the industrial growth of the city in 19th century.
A very inspiring post, and I think anyone who considers travel to the USA should really have a visit to Times Square on their bucket list. Would love to be here for the New Year countdown.
Woow, @socialmediaseo, nice to see you here again. Never been on the New Year countdown here...though somedays had to walk by Times Square twice- three times.
Posted using Partiko Android
I think it would be a most amazing experience and the atmosphere out of this world, even so, without the excitement of the countdown still an amazing place to visit and from your photographs, a wonderful experience of sights and sounds.
wow. all your posts are about traveling. lucky.
@valedjiemedellin, I always carry with myself my camera, that's why have a descent collection of pics:)

Kryptonia id: yajairaHola @yanipetkov. Leyendo el post me vi caminando en la ciudad de N.Y. por la forma como describiste los lugares y por las fotos también.
I come from Kryptonia ID: @minotaurototal.
The visual show you gave me is phenomenal, I love cities like that, full of lights, of people, every minute every sound every image, teleport to a living feeling, more than reality.
Now I will follow you too. Greetings.
@minotaurototal, my first interaction with steemit for today. Woow, like your comment a lot. I think the same as what you wrote. Gygantic cities are my passion, though I was raised in a small city.
