Qype: Times Square in New York

New York - Arts & Entertainment - Landmarks

Even if you've seen it a million times on the tellybox, nothing can prepare you for the moment you climb out of a yellow cab on Times Square. It's better than Disneyland. But you must go at night to get the full impact of all those dazzling billboards and lights.
I suggest wandering around for a while until your head spins and you can't take it anymore. Then head to the top of the Marriott Hotel and visiting the revolving bar. It takes an hour, apparently, and spins a whole rotation, giving you the best view of New York. The cocktails are fabulous as well. Finding the 'special' lift that takes you from floor whatever (40 or something) to the restaurant above is a bit of a challenge though (oops, i mean special 'elevator'!).
When i went last October, Puff Daddy was walking in the back entrance surrounded by 'paps' and cameramen. He's tiny in real life. The diamond in his ear was HUUGE though.
