Experience
We had walked from our hotel to the square. It was very busy and people were everywhere so we were pushed around a bit and were hurried. Now that I look back I can't believe I was actually in Times Square.
Tips / Recommendations
Bring your camera and stick around for a bit and soak it in ... I didn't.
Though you will feel rushed and maybe panicky for there are SO many people but you have to think "I'm IN Times Square"
