Standing in the heart of Times Square, Duffy Square is more than just a place to snag discount Broadway tickets at the TKTS booth. It's a crossroads of New York's theatrical soul. If you look around, you'll see the statue of George M.
Cohan, a titan of the early American musical. Renamed Father Duffy Square in 1939, this plaza has been a magnet for tourists and a staging area for victory celebrations for decades. Whether it's the rush of people seeking a last-minute show or the presence of Cohan's legacy, the energy here is purely theatrical.
It's the perfect spot to feel the pulse of the city's performing arts scene before heading into a theater to see the magic happen.
