Times Square
Times Square has often been called the Crossroads of the World. This famous spot in New York City is the home of bright lights, soaring skyscrapers, big-name restaurants, and is considered the heart of the theater district, too.
Many travelers set foot in Times Square and wonder how it became the fascinating destination that it is today. The square made its premiere in 1904 when the name was changed from Longacre Square to Times Square in celebration of the opening of the new headquarters for the New York Times. The reputation for theater in Times Square dates back to World War I, when there were 113 productions in the 43 theaters during the 1914 – 1915 season. Today it is still an incredible center for the performing arts in New York City.
