This area was originally named Longacre Square but was renamed in 1904 when the NY Times moved to the skyscraper now known as One Times Square at 42nd St., famous for the Times Square Ball drop.
Completed in 1908, the station was the largest train station in the world at the time it was built. In fact, if put on its side, the Washington Monument could lay within the confines of the station.
US's first monument its an absolute beauty and pictures don't do justice. Mystifying and beautiful at the same time. Try a walk at dusk. Really spooky
Did you know this is where the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were signed and the second continental congress was held? Enjoy a guided tour and see the iconic Liberty Bell.
