The fantastic thing about Times Square is that you simply have everything there – yes, everything, including the you-know-what that it was previously so famous for during the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s before the city started cleaning up in the ’90s, only you need to know where to look because it is a lot less prevalent and out in the open compared to before.

But that’s why it’s called “The Crossroads of the World,” precisely because it’s got everything: fine dining, entertainment, and many types of hotels for the night, from two-star affairs to first-class accommodations. It is really an fascinating neighborhood, packed with old-timey New York electronics stores like Lafnac Digital Computers along with a Sam Ash musical instruments outlet to office buildings and even actual residences. There are also small warehouses and perhaps a factory or two in the vicinity or perhaps the next neighborhood right over. That’s Times Square for you: it has everything; everything.
