Times Square. 1560 Broadway, between 46th and 47th Street. Tel 212-869-5667 (8:00 to 20:00). Almost thirty million visitors a year pass through this area of Manhattan, and most do at night, when it shows all its splendor. Huge televisions and hundreds of neon signs advertise all types of products and shows the yellow taxis are passing at full speed. So called because the New York Times offices were located here in 1904. There was a time when prostitution, drugs and crime were synonymous with Times Square, now has become the city's cultural center, filled with theaters, auditoriums, hotels and luxury restaurants. It's where everyone goes to celebrate the end of the year from more than 10 decades. The mayor and a celebrity push a button and a glass geodesic ball 12 meters in diameter illuminated by 32,256 LEDs starts to decline during the last minute of the year.
