It's no secret that Times Square is the place to see - and it's also the place to be seen.

The Times Square district is one of the most desirable and sought-after neighborhoods for national and internation advertising. This is no surprise given the area's famous electronic screens and massive, striking billboards.

Take a look at the facts:

There are 200,000 employees in Times Square – one in four Midtown office employees work in this district.

500,000 people go through Times Square every day - 250,000 employees and residents and 250,000 additional in tourists and passersby.

Every day, more than 10 million viewers see live shots of Times Square through nationally televised programs like Good Morning America.

A sign in Times Square receives an estimated 1.5 million impressions per day.

And of course, some portion of the festivities in Times Square on New Year's Eve are witnessed by a global telvision audience estimated at over one billion people.
