New York accommodation: 1-bedroom rental in Times Square NY-12442

2008 certainly shook things up. Why not do the same and ring in the New Year in the heart of New York City? It’s not too late to plan a trip to the Big Apple and celebrate in the ‘City that Never Sleeps.’ And with NY Habitat apartments available in Midtown West only blocks from Times Square, you’ll be right in the middle of the action.

Now is your chance to experience the famous countdown up close and personal. Soak in the neon lights, live entertainment and unbelievable energy. For optimal viewing of the Times Square festivities, GET THERE EARLY! People start claiming their swath of sidewalk by early afternoon.  The ball drops at One Times Square but large video screens are also located along Broadway from 50th to 58th Street. For more information on all of the confetti-filled fun, check out the Times Square Alliance’s New Year Page .
