If you're wondering where New York City got the nickname, "the city that never sleeps," just take one look at Times Square. Full of chaos, noise, and lights, Times Square will always be of the most unique places to capture photos in NYC. It is an electric hum of activity for all ages, splashed in neon and vibrating on the highest frequency.

Manhattan is a walkable city, and Times Square is about as central as it gets. Nearly every subway line stops here, as well.
I took this photo on Broadway between W 50th and W 49th streets, looking south on Broadway. Keep an eye out for the vertical Time Square billboard sign.
