I am trying to plan a trip for me and my wife to NYC with the main priority being Times Squares for NYE. I have no idea where to start though. Can anybody put me in the right direction?

That looks like a nightmare. I love NYC, but I have no interest in doing that.

Did it to start our honeymoon. Would not do again. Glad we did it once though.
Bring your own booze. You won't find it very available on the street.
The streets are more packed than Murphy's ever was on 25¢ beer night.

I love NYC. Am planning a trip there for Xmas but will NOT be there for NYE! Seriously how can being crammed with that many people be fun? And imagine the simple things......like finding a restroom. No thanks!

It looks like the most miserable thing to do ever!!!
I love New York, but I have no interest in going to Time Square for New Year's Eve.

Absolutely miserable from everyone that's gone

Have heard absolutely terrible things. Who wants to spend an entire night crammed into an area the width of your body, unable to move for the duration of it?

It sucks.
People camp out there early only to be told to leave, when they clear it out and search it, then there is a mad rush to get back in.
Go somewhere else, make sure you buy tickets in advance, where ever that may be.

Don't do it.
1. Eurotrash everywhere.
2. Crowded as frick.
3. Cold as frick.
4. Just not worth it.
Did it this past year with a couple of friends. Took a Greyhound bus (hilarious, trashy people). I came dressed in 50 layers and was still cold as hell. I ended up blowing it off and got drunk in this wonderful little establishment while watching Duke blow the game against A&M. Got muff shoved in my face on the subway, drunk people trying to start shite. Some drunk German girl got reverse Taken, had to help her friend track the taxi down with no reward. So actually, everything except for the actual New Year's festivities was fun.

We stayed at the Doubletree the first week of June for a family vacation. Perfect location for everything in that area. LINK

In the list of things I want to do at least once:
11,862 - Hang out with Michael Moore at a G8 Conference.
11,863 - Give a homeless meth head a room in my house.
11,864 - Check in to the hospial for a triple bypass.
11,865 - Get urinated on in Times Square on NYE.

I hate Times Square just on a normal day. Too many people who are all rude.
Posted on 7/27/14 at 9:14 am to 13SaintTiger
Yes it fricking sucks
Posted on 7/27/14 at 10:16 am to 13SaintTiger
Did it in 2000. It was fun.
Posted on 7/27/14 at 10:22 am to 13SaintTiger
Sounds awful. It looks cool but to actually be there sound like a nightmare. So many better places I'd rather go for New Years.
Posted on 7/27/14 at 10:29 am to 13SaintTiger
That would be the absolute worst way to spend NYE.

Did it 2002. Stayed at Hotel Edison. Went out to the area around 2:30 and there were not many people. Between 4 and 5pm they start corralling people into the barricaded "pens" starting at the front. Suddenly, people were coming from everywhere. We ended up 4 pens from the front. It's pretty packed in the pens and almost impossible to sit. Security was letting people out to use bathrooms and such on a "1 in 1 out basis". You can use bathrooms at places like Sbarro's if you buy something. The confetti drop is awesome and made the whole thing worth it. Was back in the room by 12:15. Glad I did it but would not do again. Going to Macy's Thanksgiving Parade this year.
