One Times Square — also known as 1475 Broadway, the New York Times Building, the New York Times Tower, or simply as the Times Tower — is a 25 story, 395 foot (110.6 m) high skyscraper at 42nd Street and Broadway in New York City.
The second tallest building in Manhattan when it opened in 1904, it was originally intended as the headquarters of the local newspaper, The New York Times. While the Times no longer operates from the building, One Times Square remains a major focal point of Times Square.

Famous quotes containing the words times and/or square:
“Airplanes are invariably scheduled to depart at such times as 7:54, 9:21 or 11:37. This extreme specificity has the effect on the novice of instilling in him the twin beliefs that he will be arriving at 10:08, 1:43 or 4:22, and that he should get to the airport on time. These beliefs are not only erroneous but actually unhealthy.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“I would say it was the coffin of a midget
Or a square baby
Were there not such a din in it.”
—Sylvia Plath (1932–1963)
