You think you can drink out there? Cute

I went to NYC for New Years with my fiancee last year with intentions of watching the ball drop. We decided to go with a friend to a club instead (cover in New York for a big event is retarded expensive but that's another story) because he told us there was no way we would want to do the ball drop. You get there early in the morning, get stuck in a pen, and have no bathroom. I heard it was miserable. The club was much better. Warm, did a countdown, not trashy.

Anyone Ever Go To NYC To See Ball Drop?

It sucks. You wait for a long time, then they clear it out for bomb detection, then you go back and wait even longer. People bring board games that take hours to finish and play more than once.

Better off buying a ticket to a club.

I was in New York for NYE about 8 years back. I figured I’d go down to Times Square and watch so I could tell people I’d seen that stupid ball drop. As I was walking down the street to find one of the prison pens the keep you in for 6 hours I passed an Italian restaurant and figured I should probably eat before getting stuck nut to butt with millions of other retards.

So I go eat at the bar and have a few drinks and the bartender then tells me I need to leave because it’s a busy night and they’re trying to get as many people in and out as possible. I said I’d give him $200 cash to stay at the bar until midnight and he agreed. So I sat and drank all night at the bar, met some cool people, paid $30 bucks for a pack of smokes from some random drunk on the street, then walked outside at 11:59 and watched the ball drop.

I was there for the drop 12/31/1994.

Biggest waste of time ever. We took a train down from Albany and arrived at Penn Station (couple of blocks South of Times Square) around 3PM and people were already packing in. Roamed around and got dinner, came back at 7PM and the closest we could get was 3 blocks North. Decided still too early and came back at 10PM and were closer to Central Park than Times Square.

It is seriously one of the dumbest things to do. People seriously wait 10 hours for a 60 second ball drop

I have done the Macy Thanksgiving Day Parade as well and that is very much worth doing.

Two years ago I was at Times Square to see the ball drop

was fun to see the confetti at the end, absolutely positively not worth standing for 12 straight hours without the opportunity to use the restroom and herded into a crowded pen like cattle.
