So, You Wanna Find Town Square in New York? Good Luck, Bucko!
Let's get one thing straight: there’s no actual place called "Town Square" in New York City. I mean, c'mon, this isn't Mayberry. We're talking about the concrete jungle here, where pigeons have more street smarts than you.
Times Square: The Concrete Cowboy of New York
Now, if you're thinking of that electric, neon-lit, crazy-packed place where you can see everything from naked cowboys to Elmo begging for money, then you're probably talking about Times Square. It’s like the Vegas of the East Coast, without the gambling (legal, anyway).
So, where exactly is it? Well, it’s basically where Broadway and Seventh Avenue intersect at 42nd Street. Think of it as the crossroads of the world, or at least the crossroads of overpriced hotdogs and overpriced Broadway tickets.
Things to Do in Times Square (Besides Getting Run Over)

- Take a picture: But be careful, you might end up as a background character in someone else's selfie.
- Eat something: There’s everything from fancy restaurants to food carts. Just remember, the price is usually directly proportional to the size of the menu.
