So where exactly is Times Square? It's actually a major intersection in Manhattan, at Broadway and Seventh Avenue. This area stretches from West 42nd to West 47th Streets and consists of the blocks between Sixth and Eighth Avenues, making up the western part of the commercial area of midtown Manhattan. Sure it's not as big as Red Square in Moscow or the Champs-Elysées in Paris, but Times Square is still a world famous landmark and a symbol of its home city.
At 102 stories, the empire state building is now the tallest building in New York and is called one of the seven wonders of the modern world by the American Society of Civil Engineers.
