Anybody here watched the ball drop in NYC before? Was it worth it? I've lived in West NY a good portion of my life and I've never seen it drop before.
I've joined the Army and now live in the South and various places for a 3 years now wanna go see the ball drop before they send me somewhere else.
otherwise where in the CONUS would you say I should spend my NYE?
know how much a hotel will cost in nyc during the holidays? priciest time of year to go there, doubt a family friendly crowd would be worth it if you're alone
Cold, crowded, and boring. I recommend doing anything else in the city that night

Don't forget heavy security and you can't drink oustide. And most to the places to get a drink or a bite to eat in the Times Square area are tourist traps. So any place with a view of Times Square that sells food and drink will have a very gougey NYE set price evening. You will drop a hell of a lot of money for a crowded experience that's likely to feel like a let down, unless being part of a crowd that big is novelty enough for you.

>Where else could we celebrate NYE that is driving distance from GA?
Do you have a favorite nightlife establishment near where you live? I have two friends who are bar owners, and I've had fun NYE celebrations at their places. But if you want to travel to make the night special I'd look in to where near you are hotels with decent bars. Somewhere within a few hours' drive there has got to be a hotel in a cute twon or city neighborhood that has a nice bar on the ground floor. Check out what their deal is for NYE, and if it looks good book a room for the night. You get a trip, get to ring in the New Year with a bunch of people and a room so no chance of DWI.
That's what I'd do in your position.

We are in GA though, outside of Atlanta, or maybe Savannah and I might find my friend hanging from a tree lmfao
Florida good?

Why not an Air B&B in NOLA? Can't be more than a seven hour drive for you, and you know that place will be jumping. And blacks and whites hanging out together isn't unheard of there.

If you have not seen the Possum Drop up near Murpphy, NC, you ain't seen shit.
Raduical possum huggers shut 'er down for a time -- one year they used a road kill "possum just to make sure that the poor fellow did not suffer from his ordeal.
But idiocy has been repulsed, and the Drop is back on.

Maybe go on vacation to New York but don't go to the site of the ball drop. I'm sure the vibe of the city will be very fun if you like going to bars.
>Traveled from Canada to ball drop once...
>Did Mushrooms
>Intense night
do those 3 things and youll have a great time.
