New York City
Of course one should go to New York City for New Year’s Eve. Although it is freezing, watching the “12-foot-wide crystal ball weighing nearly 12,000 pounds” drop down Times Square is nostalgic and classic. Brave the cold or watch the ball drop from a hotel near the chaotic scene, fodors.com also suggests that you take a boat ride along Liberty Island to see some fireworks. The point is nothing says New Year’s Eve than chilly and vibrant New York City.
