New York City. Times Square. New Year’s Eve…
Times Square Manhattan New York at sunset
We needn’t say more, but we will anyway. New York City, for better or worse, considers itself the center of the world and on no day of the year is this attitude more evident than on New year’s eve. For North America, New York City is undoubtedly the focus of the continent’s calendar celebration and the epicenter of said party is Times Square. New York Habitat has the accommodations to keep you as close, or as far from, the over-the-top festivities as you like.
Times Square, centrally located in Midtown Manhattan, is a unique surrounding to say the least. On a regular day, visitors can expect to see throngs of tourists navigating a conglomeration of pedestrian and vehicular (automobiles, street-cart vendors, mounted policemen, bicycle rickshaws) traffic, impressed, overwhelmed, or in awe of the sensory overload that is Times Square. On new year’s eve multiply the intense daily ambiance by about a million. Times Square on the last day of the year is absolutely packed with revelers. Despite the enormous number of people attending and the sometimes wild revelers on new year’s eve, there are relatively few reported incidences during celebration festivities. The police presence is substantial and consuming alcohol is prohibited on the streets.
A great option, should you decide that standing in sub-zero temperatures is not for you, is reserving a space in a Times Square restaurant. Places can be few and pricey but the views and ambiance (in addition to the option to have a drink) are often worth the extra bucks. A third option, and possibly the best, is to stay at home in your New York Habitat apartment with a bottle of champagne and the ones you love.
