Night neon portrait NYPD police car parked 7th Avenue, towards West 46th Street and TKTS Duffy Square, Times Square, New York

In the 1970s tourists avoided Times Square, which had become a seedy, crime-ridden and drug-infested area. In the 1990s the opening of a Disney Store attracted more family-friendly businesses and the area is a lot safer today than in the early 1990s. This is helped by a friendly but 'zero-tolerance' police presence, with an office in the base of the Times Tower.
