Tajms skver

Tajms skver (engl. Times Square) je jedna od najznačajnijih raskrsnica na Menhetnu, Njujork. Nastaje ukrštanjem Brodveja i Sedme avenije i proteže se od 42. do 47. zapadne ulice. Tajms skver se još naziva i „Raskrsnica sveta“[1][2][3][4][5] ili „Veliki beli put“[6][7][8], a najpoznatiji je po svojim ogromnim i blještavim svetlećim reklamama. U neposrednoj blizini su locirana mnogobrojna brodvejska pozorišta.

Prema anketi turističkog magazina Travel + Leisure iz oktobra 2011. godine, Tajms skver je najposećenija svetska turistička atrakcija sa 39 miliona poseta godišnje.[9]
