New York's Times Square is always crowded, no matter the time of day or time of year. According to Times Square's official website, more than 300,000 pedestrians enter "the heart of Times Square" every day.

Though the New Year's Eve ball-drop draws hundreds of thousands, Broadway shows and brand-name stores attract tourists year-round. But it's not just tourist contributing to the crowds. Locals who work in midtown pass through the square during their commute.
