Description

You can love it or hate it, but the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Ave (or, as most people know it, Times Square) is the very image of New York City that is seen around the world. From the yellow cabs to the golden arches, the soaring skyscrapers to the dazzling Broadway marquees, it has been the backdrop for some of the most iconic moments in history. It's where Al Jolson made it big in the film The Jazz Singer in 1927 and where Alfred Eisenstaedt captured an unforgettable image of a sailor and nurse kissing on V-J Day in 1945. It's also where Alicia Keys and Jay-Z sang about the "concrete jungle" of New York City.
