One of the most iconic attractions in the world, Times Square<\/strong> has become a symbol of the bustling city and thriving culture of New York. Named after the newspaper ‘The New York Times’ following the shift of its headquarters to the square in 1904, Times Square is now a major entertainment center, home to television studios, businesses, and hundreds of bright flashing billboards.<\/p>\n

Times Square is the most visited tourist attraction in the world, with about 40 million annual visitors. Every year since 1907, hundreds of thousands of people have gathered in Times Square on New Year’s Eve to watch the crystal ball drop at the strike of midnight, ushering in the new year. The square installed an energy-efficient LED ball in 2008. Today, millions of people flock to the square, and many more watch the celebrations on the annual New Year\u2019s Eve television special.<\/p>\n
