This camera points at the famous ball above Times Square in Midtown Manhattan, a landmark that drops every New Year's Eve. It is a useful window onto one of the busiest intersections in the city. Check it before you head out to see how the square looks right now.

About Times Square

Times Square sits at the crossing of Broadway and Seventh Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, the heart of the city's theatre district. It is known for its towering billboards, Broadway shows and the crowds that gather day and night. The square is a pedestrian-friendly zone for much of the year, and the surrounding streets are lined with hotels, restaurants and shops.

What the camera shows

The title refers to the ball, so the view is likely centred on that landmark above the square. Activity is usually heaviest in the evening, when the billboards are fully lit and the streets are busiest. Winter and the period around New Year's Eve tend to be the most eventful times, though the square is lively throughout the year.

Practical notes

New York has hot, humid summers and cold winters, with spring and autumn often the most comfortable seasons for walking around. Times Square is easily reached by subway, with several lines stopping nearby. The Museum of Modern Art and Bryant Park are within a short walk, and the other Times Square cameras on VizCams show different angles of the same area.
