What to expect?

So, why did Disney declare a crusade against prostitution? Is it possible to count all these cameras watching you right now? And how on earth HBO caught a serial killer? If you want to figure it out, let's walk through Times Square! It will be challenging. Times Square is a crowded place, but everyone coming to NYC minds attending it. Why? What is Times Square? Is it a unique spot or just a marketing bubble? To answer this question, you'll start your tour at Rockefeller Center and end it in the middle of legendary Broadway. You will walk along the central streets and see Times Square's most significant spots. Moreover, you will discover everything that is hidden behind them. You will pass the skyscraper that shelters the serial killer; you will find a rare example of Beaux-art style. You will see how the New York Times, Paramount, and other well-known companies express their power through architecture. You will learn more about the most characteristic feature of Times Square - its billboards and advertising panels. During the walk, you will observe traces of Disney everywhere, and it will be a good pretext to listen to a story about how Mickey Mouse and Scrooge McDuck influenced the mindset of the people and took over the city. You will find yourself in the thick of things. Be patient; Times Square is quite packed. However, this city rhythm makes us come to NYC, does not it?
