Duffy Square, Public square in Times Square, Manhattan, US
Duffy Square stands at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Avenue, marked by a bronze statue and the distinctive red TKTS ticket booth.
The square received its name in 1939 to honor Chaplain Francis P. Duffy of New York's Fighting 69th Infantry Regiment with a statue dedication by Mayor LaGuardia.
The space features two notable statues: Chaplain Francis P. Duffy and George M. Cohan, representing military service and theatrical accomplishments in New York City.
Visitors can purchase reduced-price Broadway show tickets at the TKTS booth, which operates daily and accepts credit cards for same-day performances.
The square corresponds to the former Lowes Lane, which connected Bloomingdale Road to Eastern Post Road during the 18th and 19th centuries.
