"Times Square is worth seeing at least once it your life. With all the big lights and billboards, and the cooky characters that end up there, Times Square lives up to its "busiest intersection in America" title. I think it's more impressive at night, but it's up to you. You wouldn't miss out on anything if you went during the day. In and around Times Square are also a lot of flagship stores such as the M&M Store, Krispy Kreme, Hershey's Chocolate World, and the Disney Store. Note of caution: There are lots of people walking around in character costumes in Times Square - if you take a picture with them, they will expect payment. So be weary of that. "

"You have to visit Times Square at least of a few times in your life time... especially on a Manhattan film tour as it has been showcased as a gauge of change like in Vanilla Sky where it is shown deserted or in The First Avenger when Captain Steve Rogers walks up after many years of hibernation. Plus it is the East Coast hub for NYE every year. (I like to write my wishes or memories on the wishing ball days before the drop). Prompt: try to take 10 photos of you (or your group) by Landmarks you have seen on-screen. Good Morning America, H&M Building, 42nd Street signs, and Broadway locations are just a few to get you started."
