Times Square
written by the New York Party Shuttle staff

The New York Party Shuttle tour of New York City begins at the heart of the city -- Times Square. Most people assume that Times Square is actually a square, but it's not. It's more of a triangle or a mere intersection of major streets. Broadway and 7th Avenue cross at 42nd street, creating the busiest area in New York City.

Times Square got its name because the New York Times building was built there, long before it became a showcase for neon lights and digital big-screen technology. The New York Times moved away, but the name stuck. The tradition of celebrating New Year's Eve in Times Square was also started by the New York Times, when it began putting on an annual fireworks display in the area. Now, more than one million people gather every year on New Year's Eve to celebrate the beginning of a new year in New York City.

Just west of Times Square on 42nd Street are the major Broadway theaters. New York Party Shuttle tour customers will have the opportunity to purchase Broadway show tickets at the TKTS booth in South Street Seaport without having to wait in the lengthy Times Square line.

At the end of your tour, you will have the choice of being dropped off at the tour starting point in Times Square, or at the Empire State Building to visit the observatory.
