Times Square is the heart of New York City and a main tourist attraction. The first time I experienced every aspect of Times Square was only a few years ago. I got off the 7 train on 42^nd Street and 7^th Avenue, it was 10 P.M. I walked up and was shocked at the scenery, it felt like daylight again. As I walked I saw this place called Times Square filled with Billboards, stores, restaurants, flashing lights, cars and of course people. I walked further down and saw the famous Toys r’ us. Hearing about this “attraction” from other before made me excited to go in there and see for myself. I went in; first thing I noticed was a huge Ferris wheel. You can’t find a ferries wheel full and running at 11 P.M. anywhere else except New York. There was also a humongous dinosaur which was very realistic and scary and a Barbie house which displays every Barbie you can think of. As I walked out of Toys r’ us, a lady asked me if I wanted a drawing of my face and it would take only five minutes. I reused but regardless she enthusiastically showed me some examples. I couldn’t refuse. What amazed me most were not the pictures but her energy level at this time of the night. I crossed the street and stood on this fork road where everyone came to take pictures due to the beautiful view, and just looked around. Everyone was lively and full of energy. It was just amazing.
