Until 1929, Times Square was the hub of the city&#8217;s entertainment scene, with its theaters, music halls and cabarets. With them, hotels flourished, bringing with them a little more delinquency and corruption every day. With its sex shops and prostitution, Times Square resembled the Pigalle district of <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"Paris\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/travel\/paris\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">Paris<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the 90s, the mayor decided to clean up the area, and strip clubs were asked to leave.

Prepare to be amazed. The first thing to do is enjoy the atmosphere and spectacle of the street. If you&#8217;re looking for a dazzling place in the first sense of the word, Times Square is the place for you. Between the neon lights of the fashion boutiques, you&#8217;ll find the world&#8217;s largest giant screen, measuring 27 meters high and 100 meters wide, all in high definition.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoying the lights, the giant screens, and the vibrant crowd is one of the best free things to do in Times Square \u2014 and a must for any first-time visitor to New York.<\/p>\n<p>For a panoramic view of Times Square, be sure to climb the 27 red steps of Duffy Square between Broadway and 7th Avenue.

All you have to do is step in front of the store&#8217;s screen to see your photo displayed.<\/p>\n<p>Other stores worth a visit include the Disney Store and M&amp;M&#8217;s World, a store filled with candies of every color.

From the top of this panoramic restaurant, you&#8217;ll have New York at your feet. The view is simply incredible, as the bar rotates on itself within an hour. To find The View, go to the 48th floor of the Marriott hotel. If you wish to dine or lunch there, it&#8217;s advisable to book in advance. You&#8217;ll then enjoy a wonderful experience as a French chef prepares a four-course meal right before your eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Fancy a made-to-measure burger? Then head to <a href=\"https:\/\/bareburger.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bareburger<\/a>. Everything is top quality, starting with the meat, which is very fresh and tasty. All ingredients are organic and sustainably farmed. And, of course, the crispy buns are homemade the same day.<\/p>\n<p>The other must-visit burger address is Shake Shack. When you arrive at the address on Broadway, you&#8217;ll be greeted by a long queue. Shake Shack is a popular restaurant, well known to the locals. Good and cheap, it&#8217;s the ideal place for a hearty lunch break.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/best-tv-shows-of-all-time-230162023\/\">Times Square is full of roof tops<\/a>, such as the Hyatt Centric or The Skylark. As New York is a cosmopolitan city, you&#8217;ll find every kind of cuisine here, from Thai and Indian to Cuban and Italian.<\/p>\n<h2>Where to stay in Times Square Manhattan?<\/h2>\n<p>As New York is a very large city, it&#8217;s advisable to find a hotel in the Times Square district, right in the center of Manhattan.<\/p>\n<p>Among them, the Merrion Row Hotel and Public House is renowned for its cozy, intimate atmosphere. Offering excellent value for money, this boutique hotel offers a quiet, luxurious setting amidst the hustle and bustle of the district.<\/p>\n<p>The CitizenM New York Times Square is another good hotel, despite the small size of its rooms. Square meters are very expensive in Manhattan, so don&#8217;t expect to sleep in gigantic rooms unless you&#8217;re willing to pay a high price. What&#8217;s more, all rooms have a view of the city.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the Moxy NYC Times Square (A Marriott Hotel) is a little further away. It&#8217;s a 10-minute walk to Times Square. This trendy hotel, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/modern-home-decor-249152024\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"41\">decorated in a modern style<\/a>, offers a gym and, of course, a rooftop bar. Again, the rooms are small, but the communal areas are very spacious.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, Times Square has a lot to offer travelers. From this symbolic location, you can criss-cross Manhattan&#8217;s famous island, visiting Chinatown, Little Italy, Soho and Greenwich Village.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ \u2013 Visiting Times Square in New York<\/h2>\n<h3>Is Times Square worth visiting?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely.
