Times Square Times Square je křižovatka mezi Broadwayí a Sedmou Avenue na Manhattanu v New Yorku. Oblast Times Square je tvořena bloky mezi šestou a osmou avenue od východu na západ a západní 40. ulicí a západní 53. ulicí od severu k jihu, tvoří západní část komerčních prostor Midtown Manhattanu. Dříve se jmenovalo Longarce Square, na Times square bylo přejmenováno podle Times Building (nyní One Times Square) v dubnu 1904. Times Square, někdy známé jako "Crossroads of the World," ("křižovatka světa") dosáhlo status světové kultovní památky a stalo se symbolem New Yorku. Na jiho-východním rohu náměstí Times Square je začátek Lincolnovy dálnice, první silnice napříč Spojenými státy americkými. Times Square is a major commercial intersection in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets. Times Square iconified as "The Crossroads of the World" and the "The Great White Way" is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway theater district, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. According to Travel Leisure magazine's October 2011 survey, Times Square is the world's most visited tourist attraction, bringing in over 39 million visitors annually. Formerly Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed in April 1904 after The New York Times moved its headquarters to the newly erected Times Building now called One Times Square site of the annual ball drop on New Year's Eve. The northern triangle of Times Square is technically Duffy Square, dedicated in 1937 to Chaplain Francis P. Duffy of New York City's "Fighting 69th" Infantry Regiment; a memorial to Duffy is located there, along with a statue of George M. Cohan, and the TKTS discount theatre tickets booth. The stepped red roof of the TKTS booth also provides seating for various events. The Duffy Statue and the square were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. video audio edit © 2013 Jan J. Vágner
