TKTS red steps (Duffy Square observation seating)

The red stepped seating above the TKTS discount-ticket booth in Duffy Square (Times Square) serves as a public observation platform and meeting place overlooking the square. The TKTS booth is operated by the Theatre Development Fund and sells same-day discount Broadway and Off-Broadway tickets. The red steps are a frequent backdrop for photographs, selfies, and social-media posts about Times Square and live-theater visits.
