The Midnight Moment Of The Times Square

Anytime someone utters Times Square, the mind immediately goes to the huge billboards filling up the space bright, colourful and vibrant. Naturally, the best time to experience such magnanimous playfulness of lights and colour at Times Square is the night and more specifically, the midnight. Every night, from 11.57 until midnight, Times Square presents the largest digital art exhibition in the world. The huge billboards at the Times Square synchronise into producing brilliant imagery that you should not miss at any cost.

Watch The People Rush And Just Be

There’s no place like Times Square to sit and spend watching people just rushing through their day and we promise you will not be bored even for a second. Be yourself, grab some food and sit at the famous TKTS steps and do nothing. Watch people rush past Times Square as they go by their day and you will be set. The TKTS step, also known as the pedestrian zone has New Yorkers spending their time just sitting away and having the time of their lives, Street artists also present shows near the famous steps and just like that you have an entire evening sorted.

Almost everywhere your eyes go at Times Square you will find people dressed up at cartoon characters and even the Statue of Liberty. You don’t even have to think about going to Disneyland to get a hug from your favourite cartoon character. Spot your favourite guy at Times Square and get hug. Also, make sure to tip these performers because they don’t get into their costumes on behalf of the city. They do it for tips.
