Times Square
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN NEW YORK FOR MONEY

History
AS NEW YORK CITY GREW, TIMES SQUARE QUICKLY
BECAME A CULTURAL HUB FULL OF THEATRES,
CONCERT HALLS AND UPSCALE HOTELS.
TIMES SQUARE RECEIVED ITS CURRENT NAME IN APRIL
1904, WHEN THE NEW YORK TIMES MOVED ITS
HEADQUARTERS TO THE NEWLY BUILT TIMES BUILDING
1938

Our days
One of the square's popular buildings is 1501
Broadway (Paramount Building). Once there was a
theater here, where such artists as Bing Crosby, Fred
Astaire and Frank Sinatra gave concerts. Over time,
the theater was closed, and the building itself is now
a business center.
Another attraction that you can visit while on the
main square of New York is Madame Tussauds, built
in 2000. A 10-story building was built for the museum,
where today you can see more than 200 wax figures
of celebrities.

Cuisine, service, restaurant interiors, discount
system - all this can be found in Times Square
for every taste.
Times Square is a major shopping and financial
district. The attention of tourists is attracted by
a giant glass cube - an Apple store, a luxurious
Hershey's sweets house, the world's largest toy
store Toys Us, a fairy-tale world with huge Lego
statues and spidermen hovering under the
ceiling.
Feeling the soul of Times Square, feeling its
rhythm of life, stormy, bright, expressive,
restless, daring, looking into its wide-open eyes,
it is impossible not to fall in love with the city.

New York is a city of perpetual rush. And I
deliberately slow down there and see a lot of
amazing things.
