Hi All,
Jenna, while I understand the allure of a Times square New Year, I wouldn't go for anything. It is packed, people line up for hours in the freezing cold and you are not allowed to bring ANYTHING in the secure area. Only a bit of money and and the Metro card for the subway. And it is usually FFFRRREEEZZZIIINNGGG!!!!
Then again I am a bit of a poop. I go to my friend's house and go out for an old people's early dinner with her kids and put on PJ's as soon as we get home and watch the ball drop on TV.
