If you want a spot in that area you need to arive around 10am. Each hour past 10am you'll be about a block back.. by 6pm you're 15 blocks back. And thats a new york block, not a standard city block. If you can't get there by 3-4pm its not worth going, you can't hear the music , can't see much and you'll be over crowded and can't even turn left or right. I've been twice.
Got to tell you guys, I'm from NY but have seen both Sydney and London fireworks and I thought the London display was bar far the most spectacular for organization and somehow less brashy, unlike the kitsch of the US displays - the music (less John Lennon of course, but he's hardly American) is always so crap here!
ammm new york new york by frank sinatra???? it's like a clasic, but i take it from your nickname that u are drunk, so i guess it's ok not to know that.
question for the owner of the video.. what time did you get there? We got there at 5 pm this past New Years and ended up by 47th avenue.. definetely too far from the action.
i was there too ( for the 2007-2008)... u just have to keep going, ask police, somehow we got there at 6pm and go to the front where the action was, it was quite hilarious actually and also if you dunt wanna do that people started to line up at 2pm ! :)
i think new years is so over rated. every year you make plans for it and its never as good as you thought it was going to be,, kind of like your high school prom
happy new year to everyone, 28min ago. But for the life of me why did fox have to use a brit to host an american times square event, she can host in her own country., Im pissed
yeah rigth now was the 2008 one i saw it on tv i always hope to go there i got a lot of families in NY so i hope to be there on 2009 wish me luck people and happy new year
I watch this show on TV every year on New Year's Eve. It's the next best thing to being there. Really better, cause you don't have to brave the crowds and the cold!
This looks so fun! I wish I could be there for 2008. Do you guys watch Three Sheets on MOJO HD? There's a special New Year's Eve episode where he does a pub crawl through NYC. Check it out on MOJO HD com
this is the most beautiful time you guys experienced!!! i wish i can be there too on this next year to come... toda roba for this, i hope i spell it right.
Let's inform you americans about somethink what is normal in the Europe..when is new year..we everybody use the fire rakets..so when y stay in the square..it's like some war started..but funny way you know?...everybody are shouting up,around..big bang..yea..somethimes is dangerous..a little a bit.but I love It and is cool..believe me(iam from Prague)...so I was really surprice after this video..you are not using tht?:-(
2007 hasnt been as good as 2006 for me,Im afraid. I need something 2 happen in the next 2 months for proof,though!!! hopefully 2008 will be better :s!!!
my family came to visit our cousins bur we left on the 29th. strange ebough my auntie said. two things to v=never do in new york. go to the crown of the statue of liberaty and bo to time square on new years.
this was one of my worst new years eve experience.
we were standing two streets from the times square and we didnt' see/hear anything... the police was so rude and arrogant, didn't let anybody closer. thousands of people couldnt see anything just each other, huge crowd, very cold and felt so miserable standing there...
so it looks cool on my screen but actually to be there it's not fun at all.. (maybe it's fun if you are poor and don't have other choice to spend this night)
I agree, I was there but I left early, it was lame. The police were unkind. I was too far away to see or hear anything, but too close to be in front of one of those giant screens. Too bad, hope they do a better job next year, tho I probably won't go, getting drunk with friends is more fun :)
lol. I've been to London, and I'm from New York. lol - there really isn't a comparison. Piccadilly Circus has a 1/4 of the amount of lit signs, half as big, and all the buildings are a 1/4th as tall. XD Still nice tho. But not the same. ^^ Nothing compares to Times Square.
hey i was there i was standing next to the Charming restroom..everyone there was so bored waiting for 12oclock that the only intersting thing was wen these guys were putting up a sign saying "thank you ny"..so everyone was lookin at them and even filming wat they were doing.
was also there - but standing on 34th street - far away :( - but it was not so stressy to wait for new year because first we stand directly in the mass of people and that was horrible :/ But i enjoyed that party so much! I LOVE NY! Mike, Austria
