Most New Yorkers try to avoid Times Square like the plague. It's busy, there are creepy character people walking around, and tourists that just stop in the middle of the sidewalk (at least step to the side). You'll probably go to Times Square if you visit, but go at night and stay towards the top of it around 48th/49th street; it won't be quite as busy and you'll get full view of the lights.
