   It's 100 years old.  A NYT "city section" article appeared last Sunday.
   OED has no specific "Times Square" entry.

TIMES TRIANGLE, TIMES SQUARE; New Names for Long Acre Square Suggested by a Reader of This Newspaper.
J.W.C. CORBUSIER.. New York Times (1857-Current file). New York, N.Y.: Mar 23, 1904. p. 8 (1 page):
_To the Editor of The New York TImes:_
   When the new building of THE NEW YORK TIMES shall be completed and become a thing of art and beauty in that section of the city in which it is to stand, why would it not be fitting that the space about the edifice be called "Times Triangle," or "Times Square," although perhaps it may not be a square?
   It is, it seems, more euphonious than "Long Acre Square," and very soon would become as well known as "Printing House Square" or "Herald Square."
   No doubt the Board of Aldermen would take up such a suggestion at the proper time and act upon it favorably.  Can it not be entertained?

   I like these cheap Indian restaurants and the name "Curry Hill," similar to "Murray Hill."  Robert Sietsema uses the name a lot.

Traditionally, Manhattan's best inexpensive Indian restaurants have been concentrated in Murray Hill along lower Lex, in a neighborhood waggishly known as Curry Hill. The prices are similar to the cheaper joints on East 6th, but the Lexington Avenue places have the paradoxical advantage of serving from steam tables--meaning that the food is fast, and, more important, you can see it before you order. My favorite has always been East in the West (113 Lexington Avenue), where you get a doormat-size nan in addition to rice, raita, salad, and three steam-table selections for around $5.

Some of the better restaurants on Curry Hill (also known as Little India, on Lexington, between 26 and 31 Streets) that serve very good dishes under $10. Many of the restaurants also serve buffet.

Abstract (Article Summary)
There are more than 12 Indian restaurants to choose from along the two-block stretch of Lexington Avenue between 27th and 29th Streets known by some as Little India, by others as Curry Hill. The competition is fierce. Curbs along the strip look like taxi stands, jammed by South Asian drivers who flock to the area for spicy kebabs and pungent curries.
