Travel guides always recommend that those who visit New York hit the city and Times Square for the first time. But, every true New Yorker knows to avoid Manhattan’s Times Square at all costs, so you should too.
Located in the center of Manhattan, Times Square is crowded and full of expensive souvenirs and chain restaurants that aren’t unique to this region. The area is also home to gigantic stores and people dressed in outrageous costumes to take photos with. For those who don’t like crowds especially, Times Square is not the place for you.
