Overview
330,000 people pass through Times Square every day, and most of them never see the best elements of the neighborhood. Beyond the $800 tickets to "Hamilton," the blinding neon lights and the Naked Cowboy street performer, there is a world to uncover. Join me on a tour of six secrets in "The Crossroads of the World." We'll discover hidden artwork, stumble upon cultural treasures, sample the world's best cheesecake and conclude with incredible view of the Theater District. This is the best of Times Square, as revealed by a New Yorker.
