Times Square Arts and J. Mayer H. presented "XXX TIMES SQUARE WITH LOVE," three X-shaped outdoor loungers custom-designed for Times Square, on which people could lie back, stare up, and send a snapshot of either themselves or the mix of signs and sky above them. Originally inspired by the "X"-like intersection of Broadway and 7th Avenue that forms Times Square, the loungers were the first specially-commissioned ongoing street furniture for the new Times Square plazas. Each “X” of "XXX TIMES SQUARE WITH LOVE" accommodates up to four people, with each leg of the “X” serving as an almost-horizontal lounger that allowed people to lie down and enjoy a totally different—and more leisurely—perspective of the bustling plazas of Times Square. They could chill with a book from the new Strand book kiosk or, using the hashtag #TSqXXX, share their love on social media, tag friends, and send them “XXX TIMES SQUARE WITH LOVE!”
