Times Square
Located in the triangle where 42nd Street, Flod Street and 7th Road intersect. As the center of Flod Street Theater, this place is home to many theaters, hotels and restaurants. When our agent of new york Times Magazine performed here, it was called "Times Square" from 1904. At present, The New York Times Magazine is located between the 8th and 7th Streets of 43rd Street, but the name and status of Times Square have not changed. New york usually calls parks "squares", but this is neither a park nor a square, but a triangle. The origin of the name is that new york Times Corporation moved here in 1904, hence the name. Today, although the headquarters of Times has been moved between No.8 and No.7 43rd Street, the name of Times Square has been used to this day.

Wall Street
Wall Street stock market can be said to be the hub to manipulate the world's finance and commerce, and major enterprises will set their headquarters here. Even McDonald's, which is opened here, has a unique feature in the world, that is, it is specially equipped with a ticker that can display the Wall Street stock market, serving the office workers here, eating hamburgers and studying the latest stock market. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that white-collar workers who work here have to compete for fame and gain every day, while professional women wearing brand-name suits and a pair of sports shoes are walking briskly in the street, which is another wonder of Wall Street.
Most office workers here are very nervous even at mealtimes. On Broadway, which is connected with Wall Street, you can often see fast food trucks and mobile food vendors pouring in from all directions. The business of each booth is not bad, and sometimes there are long queues.
When standing at the intersection of Wall Street and Broad Street, there will be a strange and satisfying feeling, because standing here, facing the oldest Trinity Church in the United States, this Gothic building built in 1846 has the appearance of a rose sandstone church and a spire 26 meters high, and many outstanding early new york people are buried in the cemetery behind the church; On the right is the Federal Hall National Memorial Hall, which is one of the best classical buildings in the city. 1789, many people in new york watched the swearing-in ceremony of President Washington.
