here is the sentence:

I accidentally walk into the woman's room in the lobby (at/in) Time Square.

Based on the above context, I should put in "at" or "in" ?

Your advice is earnestly solicited.
Thanks.

Good morning, ginger bread.

I did some googling, and it appears that maybe your sentence should read:

I accidentally walked into a women's restroom in Times Square.

(A few sources even said: On Times Square, but I would suggest that you NOT use that preposition. )

Don't feel bad. Even native speakers don't always agree on prepositions: in/on the elevator; respectful of/to teachers, etc.

Have a nice day!

Good morning, hanifasmm.

(1) Yes, Times Square is an area in the downtown area of New York City.

(2) It is a very famous area. Many activities take place there.

(3) If you google, you can find out its history.

(4) I think it gets its name from the fact that The New York Times, our most important newspaper, put a tall building up there many years ago.

Have a nice day!
