Is Times Square Open Today?

From today%26#39;s New York Times ';Metropolitan Diary'; section.

Scene on the M57 bus early one morning. A young couple, obviously visitors to the city, entering the bus, map in hand. Their question to the driver: ';Is Times Square open today?';

Also obvious; they never looked at this site.

They probably recently went to Thailand and had 1 too many tuk tuk driver tell them the major site they wanted to see was closed - and the driver could recommend a great gem factory to see instead!

Mahjong anyone ?
