Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live here. : )
Taken on my walking "commute" home from work last week...

This man was biking around on Times Square on his small, pink bike and simultaneously talking to people and doing strange things. Suddenly he was standing up like this looking at himself on the big screen, on which you can see yourself.
This is (believe it or not) stitched from three photos (due to my lack of money not allowing me an exceedingly wide-angle lens) and I'm quite proud of it to be honest, as there are a number of bits where people were blurred or cars were cut by the joins but I fixed it by manually photoshopping people in to make it look more natural and fixing some of the animated signs but I've tried not to alter the scene at all.
(See if you can spot the goofs!)
(Hint: The reflected Bud Sign shows a red background in the windows on the left and the Fed-Ex van is a little blurred)
I took a couple Times Square shots. Little did I realize, I actually took a way more pics of this tower than the tower on the other side.
I'll probably be experimenting with these pictures a little more.
I took this series of shots while the Times Square Ball was on display in Macy's Department Store in Manhattan.
From Wikipedia:
Each year on New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square in Manhattan, New York City, a time ball made of crystal and electric lights is raised to the top of a pole on the One Times Square building and then lowered to mark the coming of the New Year. The Ball descends 77 feet (23 meters) over the course of a minute, coming to a rest at the bottom of its pole at 12:00am. Toshiba's Times Square billboard directly below the Ball counts down to midnight as well.
Every year up to one million people gather in Times Square to watch the Ball drop, and an estimated 1 billion watch video of the event, 100 million of them in the United States.
World number one tennis player Roger Federer of Switzerland serves the ball against Pete Sampras of United States during the 'Clash of Times’ match at Shah Alam Melawati Stadium on 22 November 2007. Federer won 7-6, 7-6. GLENN GUAN/The Star

Times Square isn’t a square at all; it’s more an oblong area sprawling across six streets. It was given its name in 1904 when The New York Times moved there. Someone told me it’s the only place in New York where building owners are obliged by law to display illuminated signs – and the result is not just spectacular, but huge fun as well!
