Times Square — Live 4K Cam

This live 4K camera looks down on Times Square, the dazzling crossroads at the heart of Midtown Manhattan and one of the most visited places on Earth — drawing some 50 million visitors a year. The view takes in the wall-to-wall digital billboards, the streaming yellow cabs of Seventh Avenue and Broadway, the red TKTS steps, and the round-the-clock crowds that give "the Crossroads of the World" its name. There is genuinely no hour when nothing is happening here. Times Square is at its most spectacular after dark, roughly 7 PM to midnight Eastern, when the billboards blaze at full brightness and foot traffic peaks — though the cam is alive 24/7, including the quiet, almost cinematic early-morning hours. New York is on Eastern Time, six hours ahead of Hawaii, so peak Times Square energy lands in the early-to-late afternoon HST. The single biggest night of the year is the New Year's Eve ball drop, when a million people pack the square. Surrounded by Broadway theaters, flagship stores, and the TKTS booth, Times Square sits steps from the Theater District, Bryant Park, and Grand Central. It's the neon, never-sleeping symbol of New York City — and one of the most-watched live street scenes anywhere.
