as major as a major intersection can get, times square is the junction of broadway and seventh avenue. nicknamed the 'crossroads of the world,' it's a symbol of new york city, having achieved iconic status as a worldwide landmark. attracting millions of tourists every year, it's characterized by all its digital advertisements -- called 'spectaculars' or 'jumbotrons' -- and is home to many attractions like abc studios, virgin records, and both the hershey's & m&m's stores that are right across the street from each other.
