A day walk at Times Square - Manhattan New York

I must admit that photography comes here to be at its true colors and heart beat starts at Times Square in Manhattan, New York. A commercial Hub for tourist and attraction, entertainment, name it all is there. It’s located in the Midtown of New York. A popular must do.
Newyork has always been cold and chilly most of the time of the year. In winters/summers you hardly feel the heat. A windbreaker if you are visiting in Summers, and winters you properly dress up well.
I did it in July and it was cold around 4 degrees

History about Times Square:
Before this it was named as “Longacre Square”, In April 1904 when times square moved it’s headquarters here and since that its be named as Times Square

Things to do when you are here.
- The Knickerbocker Hotel
- Rockefeller building
- Bryant Park
- Stroll through Central Park Central Park
- Empire State Building
- UN HQ
- Cruise on the Staten Island Ferry.
- 9/11 Memorial & Museum
- Walk in the night has an amazing view

How Did get there.
I have a friend in Long Island, Jericho. Took the Hicksville Train to New York Penn Station (took me around 1 hour approx.) as he had his monthly pass. New York has one of the best subways/transportation systems. Otherwise, it’s around $11 – $15 (can vary) one way.

Hi @Jshak ,

Thanks for sharing these nice photos of New York with us! I hope I’ll be able to visit it one day. :slightly_smiling_face:

Since some of your pictures are not straight, you could try to re-upload them. Have you ever used Snapseed to edit your photos?

I also wanted to let you know that I’ve just recovered your post from the spam folder and I just merged it with the other one, since you posted it twice. Our automatic filters run 24/7 to protect the community from unwanted content and they can be too strict at times, thanks for your patience. :slightly_smiling_face: You can read more here: Why was my Connect post marked as spam?
