    New Yorker here.

    Do yourself a favor and do not go to that event.

    Before 9/11 it was cool. People wandered from bar to bar, or drank in the street, and at midnight you’d watch the ball drop.

    Since 9/11 there are a million cops, you are penned in with few bathrooms, and it’s a nightmare to get in or out.

      Yeah… Went once and it was definitely a “never again” type of event

        This is one of my favorite ‘made in NY’ movies.

        Got Times Square right.

    Does that mean America has reached puberty?

        I mean, I’d rather he ignore us than gestures wildly at everything

    Drop number two will take place at 12:04 a.m. to honor America’s 250th anniversary.

    Pretty sure America is older than that.
