Absolutely crazy, extremely busy, but lots of fun, Times Square is a must when visiting New York. Time Square is the busiest theatre district in the world, and is also home to MTV, ABC, B.B Kings, Hard Rock Café, Best Buy Theater, and Madame Tussauds. You’ll also find local legends such as the Naked Cowboy who roams the square strumming his guitar wearing only a hat, tighty-whities and cowboy boots, and his competition the Naked Cowgirl ready for photo ops as well as numerous other street performers.
