Manhattan Island, New York City

Page 3

Manhattan is the most densely populated and geographically the smallest of the five boroughs of New York City. The borough is coextensive with New York County in the state of New York, and is the smallest county by land area in the contiguous United States. Located mostly on Manhattan Island near the southern tip of the State of New York, Manhattan constitutes the geographical and demographic center of the Northeast megalopolis and the urban core of the New York metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass. Manhattan serves as New York City's economic and administrative center and has been described as the cultural, financial, media, and entertainment capital of the world.

This is Page 3 of our Manhattan pages and features among other places, Times Square (with 3 cams), a major commercial intersection, tourist destination, entertainment hub, located in Midtown Manhattan. It is formed by the junction of Broadway, Seventh Avenue, and 42nd Street. Together with adjacent Duffy Square, Times Square is a bowtie-shaped plaza five blocks long between 42nd and 47th Streets. Formerly known as Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed in 1904 after The New York Times moved its headquarters to the then newly erected Times Building, today called "One Times Square". It is the site of the annual New Year's Eve ball drop, which began on December 31, 1907, and continues to attract over a million visitors to Times Square every year.
