Live cam of Times Square, NYC


I thought this was fascinating. Times Square in real time. https://www.earthcam.com/cams/newyork/timessquare/?cam=tsrobo1. So many people there late at night and crowded. I hope to go there someday.

That video is a little exaggerated because it's from a movie. There were porno and peep shows along with hookers but many regular businesses, movie theaters and flashy lighted signs were there too. Many tourists and shoppers.

Disney chased the hookers and porno shops a few blocks away before they disappeared for good. Biggest threat now appears to be the costumed superheroes who hangout in Times Square.
