Times Square Field Trip

"We want to be a part of it, New York, New York!"

D–Crit visited Times Square on Tuesday, to check out the views. We visited the new TSX Entertainment (and recently elevated Palace Theater), designed to create "city-stopping moments" on its 18,000 sq. ft. 8K interactive billboard. Check out the views some students shared from above the iconic red steps.
