Times Square Limo Service

1. The Old History Of New York In Midtown Manhattan, New York City, Times Square is a significant business crossroads, a popular tourist attraction, an entertainment center, and a neighborhood. It is created by the intersection of 42nd Street, Broadway, and Seventh Avenue. Times Square is a five-block area in the shape of a bowtie that extends from 42nd to 47th Streets, together with neighboring Duffy Square. The early location of William H. Vanderbilt's American Horse Exchange was Times Square, which was once called Long Acre (or Longacre) Square after London's carriage quarter. Long Acre Square was a sizable open area bordered by drab flats in the late 1880s. However, the area started to alter quickly. The electricity created a safer and friendlier atmosphere in the public realm through the use of theater ads and street lights. After The New York Times moved its offices to the then- newly constructed Times Building, today is known as One Times Square, the area was christened Times Square in 1904. The location of the yearly New Year's Eve ball drop, which first took place there on December 31, 1907, continues to draw more than a million tourists to Times Square each year in addition to reaching an estimated one billion people globally via different digital media channels.

Local businesses initially opposed the pedestrian plaza proposal because they believed that excluding automobiles from the street would harm their bottom line. The initial seating arrangements for pedestrians were low-cost, brightly colored plastic lawn chairs, which many New Yorkers found amusing. They lasted from the start of the plaza's transformation until August 14, 2009, when they were ceremoniously bundled together in an installation by artist Jason Peters called Now You See It, Now You Don't. Soon after, they were swapped out for more durable metal furniture. Injuries to drivers and pedestrians dropped, there were fewer pedestrians crossing the road, and Times Square saw a rise in pedestrians despite the plaza's conflicting effects on the local traffic. The pedestrian plazas will be made permanent, according to a statement from Bloomberg in February 2010. With such busy pedestrian streets finding a palace to park vehicles can be very difficult and cabs can be very unpredictable considering the demand.
