New Year’s Eve in Times Square

Thanks for the article from Antone Medina

Since I live in the suburbs of northern New Jersey, I always go to Times Square for New Year’s Eve. I make sure to take the day off from work and leave my house by one in the afternoon. I bundle up because being in New York City for an entire day in December is so cold. Some years I swear that it feels like icicles form on my face. Once I am dressed for the occasion, and the weather, I feed the animals, set my home security alarm from Security choice and head out for the train station. The ride into the city on the train is always exciting. People are in such a festive mood and groups of people will start singing and dancing. That is not something you usually see on a train into New York City. New Year’s Eve is my favorite holiday just for this very reason. The joy of the holiday season becomes infectious and everyone is just trying to have the best possible time. I usually meet up with a group of people at Penn Station and we have a day full of activities setup. I like to walk past Macy’s and the famous Christmas display which is usually still up. Then we all head to Times Square to get ready for the ball drop. The countdown is my favorite part.
