Nws yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws lub npe hu ua qhov chaw uas muaj ntau qhov chaw tshaj tawm ntawm kev tshaj tawm kev tshaj tawm yog qhov tseem ceeb, uas tau muaj cov xov xwm ntau ntxiv rau xyoo tas los: ua tsaug rau qhov no, nws tseem nrov heev nrog cov neeg tuaj ncig, nws yog qhov nyiam tshaj plaws mus xyuas tsis tsuas yog nyob rau hauv New York, tab sis kuj thoob plaws Asmeskas thiab txawm tias lub ntiaj teb (40 lab tus neeg hauv ib xyoos) - txawm hais tias nws thawj qhov chaw tawm tsam los ntawm Strip Boulevard hauv Las Vegas. Nws muaj nyob ntawd "lub pob ntawm lub sijhawm" raug tso tawm txhua Xyoo Tshiab Lub Hmo thaum ib tag hmo. Txawm li cas los xij, qhov chaw ntawm cov square hauv plawv nroog, ntawm Broadway theatre thiab lwm qhov chaw lom ze, ntxiv rau ntawm nruab nrab ntawm Grand Central Station thiab Port Authority chaw nres tsheb npav, ua rau cov tsheb khiav tsis muaj tsuas yog neeg ncig tebchaws: ntawm 330,000 cov neeg uas mus xyuas qhov ntawd txhua txhua hnub, 56% - cov neeg nyob hauv New York chaw loj. Thaum Times Square nyob tsuas yog 0.1% ntawm nroog loj, nws muab 11% ntawm nws qhov GDP thiab 10% kev ua haujlwm, thiab 21% ntawm tag nrho cov chav tsev so hauv nroog nyob hauv.
Tau ntev, Times Square tau saib xyuas nrog lub tsheb thiab cov neeg, yog li, tshwj xeeb, nws tsoo cov ntaub ntawv rau tus naj npawb ntawm cov xwm txheej uas muaj cov neeg taug kev: 137% ntau dua li ntawm cov nyiaj ib puag ncig. Tsis tas li, thaj chaw tau pom qhov txawv ntawm cov pa paug thiab qhov teeb meem kev ua txhaum cai nyuaj.

Cov qhua hauv nroog thiab cov neeg nyob hauv zos pom zoo pom zoo txog kev hloov pauv (li ntawm 90%).
Lub phiaj xwm Snøhetta (pob nyiaj - $ 55 lab, suav nrog kev tsim kho cov chaw tsim hluav taws xob hauv qab xwm txheej) muab Times Square ua kev daws teeb meem - twb muaj ntau ntau yam: cov neon nto moo thiab LED cov ntawv tshaj tawm, theem liab ntawm lub thawv, lub chaw nrhiav neeg ua haujlwm rau cov tub rog nrog teeb muaj ntsej muag ntsej muag hauv daim ntawv ntawm Asmeskas tus chij. Yog li ntawd, txhua qhov "pom pom pov tseg", sab pob zeb, thiab lwm yam tau raug tshem tawm. Txoj kev pua pob tau ua ob hom kev ua vaj tse, nruab rau qee qhov chaw nrog lub voj voos steel qhov loj ntawm qhov nyiaj npib: lawv tau cuam tshuam lub teeb ntawm kev tshaj tawm hauv kev tsaus ntuj (cov laj kab no tseem tau siv nyob rau ntawm txoj kev ntawm ntug kev uas nyob ib sab ntawm 7 Avenue) Cov. Cov neeg taug kev ntawm txoj kev nrawm dua thiab qeeb qeeb yog sib cais los ntawm 15-meter granite lub rooj zaum. Lawv cov kev teeb tsa sib txawv sib haum mus rau ib qho haujlwm lossis lwm qhov (koj tuaj yeem zaum ntawm lawv, lean tawm tsam lawv, thiab lwm yam); lawv kuj tseem zais cov neeg tiv thaiv cov khoom siv hluav taws xob thiab tshaj tawm, uas ua rau nws yooj yim dua los nqa tawm ib qho xwm txheej ntawm cov xwm txheej (yav dhau los, cov tsheb thauj khoom nrog cov tshuab hluav taws xob, cov khoom siv tshaj tawm, thiab lwm yam).
