One could spend hours in Times Square shopping, people watching and being amazed by the billboards. The ”crossroads of the world” as it is known, is jam-packed with free entertainers as well. Have a look yourself through this real-time webcam of 47th Street and Broadway.
In 2016, the city decided to make things a little less chaotic in Times Square and so they designated areas where you can see performers, where you can sit, and what path to take to get outta there when you’re ready to go. You can download what they call their “cheat sheet” or use this picture of it on the right. The zones go from 47th Street down to 42nd Street. Green is for relaxing as you watch the world go by. The blue lines are where you can find various performers and cartoon characters and purple are express walking lanes so you don’t have to weave your way through the crowds.
Times Square is a destination high on everyone's list not just on December 31st, but all year long. The official NYC guide offers all you need to know in its Ultimate Times Square Guide.
