You meet under the bronze gaze of George M. Cohan at 46th and Broadway — neon above like a restless sky and the pavement humming with footsteps. The guide, a working theater professional, steers the group through the press of Times Square, stopping where marquees throw angled light across faces and alleyways keep quieter echoes of auditions past.

Broadway grew from a colonial trail into the nation’s theater hub; Times Square was renamed after the New York Times moved there in 1904 and became a focal point for entertainment and advertising.
Theater preservation groups work to maintain historic playhouses while city programs focus on reducing light and waste in Times Square; visitors can help by minimizing litter and respecting signage.
