What makes Times Square the crossroads of the world after sunset?

When I visit Times Square as evening falls, it’s like stepping onto a stage where the whole world is the audience. The sunset is the cue for the lights to take over. They turn the night into a canvas of colors. I’m just one in the crowd, but I feel like I’m part of something big.

I see the billboards, huge and bright. They’re like stars, over 300 of them, lighting up the sky. People from everywhere, more than 350,000 a day, come here. We all share this moment. The lights, the noise, the buzz—it’s all part of the show.

The theaters are close by, more than 40 of them. They’re the heart of Broadway, beating with stories and songs. I can feel the excitement. It’s like the air is charged with dreams. Times Square is where paths cross. It’s not just roads, but lives and stories. It’s where I meet the world. For a moment, we’re all going the same way, together. This place doesn’t sleep. It’s alive, 24/7, with over 460,000 people passing through on the busiest days. It’s the city’s heartbeat, and I can feel it.

This is my Times Square. It’s not just a crossroads of roads. It’s a crossroads of dreams, of lights, of people. It’s where I go to be part of the story of New York. And every time, it’s like the first time, full of wonder and life. This is the travel experience I always remember, simple yet grand, just like Times Square itself.
