We stayed in Times Square so was easy to get a picture when it wasn’t so busy at 7am. But it gets so busy you can nearly walk through let alone get any good pictures. I suggest go early and you don’t get bugged by people asking you go go on tours or have your pictures taken for money.

Times Square is an incredible place full of energy, lights, and action. The giant billboards and vibrant atmosphere make it a one-of-a-kind experience, especially at night. There’s plenty to do—shopping, dining, and even catching a Broadway show. It can get crowded and pricey, but the excitement is worth it. A true NYC icon that’s a must-see for tourists!

All the Glitter and buzz of NYC is here. Be careful of guys in constumes, they get photographed with you and then start demanding money!! Cool shops, expensive restaurants just walk 2 blocks and the deals are better there

The best time to visit is either early in the morning if you like to shop and eat and take it all in. If you love people watching and crowds, then the afternoon and evenings are great for that. You can easily spend a whole afternoon just in one area.

Coming from a NYC sub into Time Square is exactly what you think. Lights, giant screens with advertisements, people everywhere, the smell of food, honking horns, but less hecklers than you'd expect. The Big Apple truly is a sight to behold.

I would not recommend driving in NYC because it is so congested, it can be a lot to take in, drivers are a lot more aggressive, pedestrians aren't always looking both ways, you will likely get lost, and get very frustrated.

I would strongly recommend parking outside of the city, taking a train, and walking where you gotta go. It's not only better because you can take everything in, but when you eventually get lost, it won't be as bad or overwhelming. You can just stop and figure it out. In the city you got a keep moving in a car. You can just stop and look around on foot. Parking for 1 hour is $25 and 24 hours is $50, so take that into account. You'll also pay congestion fees to get into the city by car. Not fun. A train is $3. Seriously consider it. You can park in Westchester for free somewhere, hop and Uber to the train, and relax.

There are stores and restaurants everywhere, so you have all the options you can imagine. You will never run out of choices. Everything and anything you can imagine is somewhere in the city, you just gotta know where to look.
