There is nothing better than seeing Times Square at night. There are so many lights, signs, people, stores, and of course traffic. I went to Times Square just about every night while in NY. And who could resist Bubba Gumps Shrimp from the movie Forrest Gump and a 3 story Toys R US with a ferris wheel in it!! To visit NY City and NOT go to Times Square is just not experiencing NY.

Times Square is awesome. It is free entertainment. You go there are see all of the lights and billboards. I love going at night. There are a lot of people there.
I loved the many many things to do and see. I would definately recommend a trip to anyone. You have to live it to love it. I thought I would be overwhelmed, I was but in a good way. The lights, the people, the buildings, the shops, the theatre, the best of everything. We were there for the storm and it was great.

Times Square may be fun to look at...Even FREE!!!!But you can't miss judge the crowd or the cleanlyness!!Have they ever heard of "pick up your trash?"Annostly!!!I love being there and all but the crowd the noise!!Have you seen the check-out line at the Toys R Us?Yeah it's 3 stories high but no matter you gotta be able to move!!Other than all I have said "IT REALLY IS FUN!!!!"
Great place to visit and you may not want to leave. The food is great and you wont need to find a restaurant. Just go on any street corner and you'll find a hotdog vendor or a hot pretzel vendor.

Time Square, the place where nations come together
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/24/06
I've been in New York in 2001 and i must say that this place bewitched me. So many people coming together, so many people smiling while seeung you smile. But the place I liked the most was Time Square. So much life, energy, lights! I don't know, every night there is just a holiday for the spirit. I can walk in peace and find my tranquility there.I can say Time Suqare really inspires me. I love this place.
Well, more than anything else I loved the night life, looking up at the billboards in Time Square. I was in awe when I saw them. Never seen anything like it before.
This is one place that you really have to visit over and over, it's amazing there. The first time we walked out into the street, we literally just stood there in awe over everything going on, it is purely amazing.
I guess I am a jaded New Yorker but I just don't "get it". If your a tourist by all means walk through the area but please don't spend your whole time in New York in the area! It's overcrowded, overdone, sanitized space, not to mention overpriced. Most New Yorkers I know hate the Times Square area and couldn't imagine why ...
