So How About Heading To New York City For New Year's Eve This Year

By Jordan Ebor


Celebrating New Year's Eve is one of the most exciting and oldest customs. From uninhabited laughter, fireworks and shouts of joy with everyone trying to make as much noise as possible! New Year's Eve always has plenty of toasts for luck, good health, prosperity and love. New Year's Eve is the time to bid farewell to all the concerns and problems of the past year and prepare for a new start.

New Year's Eve is the night that most people like to party and then when midnight is close they begin the countdown to the New Year. For locals who live in New York it is not unusual for house parties with family and friends to be where the main parties happen. Many of my friends that live in New York organise massive New Year's Eve celebrations by having huge house parties.

Actually spending New Year's Eve in New York City as a visitor is one of the most brilliant experiences that everyone should consider. The city is one of the world's capital of diverse entertainment, adventure and endless fun that really is alive and thriving come New Year's Eve. The biggest and best attraction for a New Year's Eve in New York City is in Times Square, which hosts a spectacular event that is attended by hundreds of thousands of people. The New Year's Eve Ball Drop in Times Square on the stroke of midnight is one of the largest New Year's Eve street parties throughout the world.

The Times Square "Ball" is totally mindboggling in size. Can you believe that it is actually 6 feet around, covered with over 2500 Waterford Crystal triangles and weighs just under 12000 pounds? Being in New York for New Year's Eve is a great experience and if you get the chance you should make your way down to Times Square for this famous New Year's Eve event.

New Year's Eve is the perfect time to party, and to celebrate and get drunk with your relatives and close friends. New Year's Eve no matter where you are is often about drinking, music and dancing at your local bars, pubs and nightclubs and New York City is no different. It is quite common for a group of mates to gather and to sit back and reflect on the year, enjoying a jug of cold beer, while waiting for the New Year to arrive. My favourite bar in New York City is the Highland Park, which is a stylish yet casual bar, located on East 34 Street. If you spend the night here you will be surrounded by several iconic landmarks like Grand Central Station and the Empire State Building. Another place that I love to go to and something that you should also consider is the hot and happening Santos Party House. This place has received so many awards that include best DJ, best nightclub and best dance floor throughout the whole of New York City. These two places are only a couple of suggestions, but there are heaps of places to go if you want to spend time with friends and enjoy New Year's Eve.

One thing you should consider whilst in New York City for New Year's Eve is the stunning view from the top of the Empire State Building. The view up there is amazing and as its winter there is no need to worry because one of the viewing decks is enclosed in glass.
