Others have said similar things, but I'll share my experience. I went down to Times Square during New Years about 10 yrs ago and all it was is just a massive crowd in bitter cold with a bunch of drunk people puking around you. The vantage point you get on TV vs when you are down there in the crowd is very different. You don't really get to see much. Also, if you don't set yourself up early in the day, you're not even going to be close to the "ball" drop.
My experience (waaaaaay back in 1976) was that we were so close to the building that holds the ball drop mechanism that it was basically straight up from us. No matter how we craned our necks, we couldn't see a thing. Except for the million or so other people surrounding us .....
do they set up porto-potties in times square? i would imagaine alot of drunk people might need to use the bathroom more frequently than usual
yep. but since the quantity of these portables is usually inadequate to meet the pent up demand, one can speculate on the resourcefulness of partygoers to use alternatives (not at all endorsed by this poster) such as storefronts, cars, side streets, back alleys - and in true NYC fashion, perhaps against the side of a stationary police vehicle?
(Another reason for me to stay home where I can use my own facilities and not be charged for vagrancy!)
