In the northern triangle of Times Square there is another square called Duffy Square which was dedicated in 1937 to Chaplain Francis P. Duffy of the New York City Infantry Regiment. Today, on this square site, there is a memorial to Duffy along with a statue of George M. Cohan. The statue and square were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. These monuments are overshadowed by the TKTS discount theater ticket booth, with its large red roof and bleachers style seating that are used heavily on nice days.
Times Square is the iconic image of New York, with its soaring LED signs and jumbotron displays encircling the square. Times Square is the only neighborhood with zoning ordinances requiring building owners to display illuminated signs. Many prominent attractions can be found in Times Square. These include live television broadcasts, large toy stores and candy stores, famous themed restaurants and bars and the theater district.
