SKIP, SKIP, SKIP, SKIP the Times Square ball drop. Unless you have a good high rise to see it from or something. It's one of the most overrated events in NYC.
The ball drop is one of those things to do at least once before you die, but all i can say is that Times Square is packed full of tourists, no bathrooms, cold/rain/wind, wait for hours and hours then it is over. It's not like it is in the movies.
Read The New York Magazine for December, buy the NY Post, for Friday, December 24th. Both should give you an idea as to what to do. Welcome and enjoy NYC.
I wanted to do it last year and go on Time Square, but forget about it. You have a MILLION people in the area, and IF you want a good/decent spot, you gotta get there 24 hours in advance or else you are screwed.
Best place to watch the ball drop is in the comfort of your couch watching Katy Griffin make a fool of herself on CNN

These things are all true. But actually being there and experiencing the event is something everyone should do once, at least. (And there won't be a million people in the area; not enough room. The perimeter the police will rope off accommodates about half a million, not more!)
Well I visited nyc last year I was at the ball drop.
And it was hard. i dunno how to describe it Millions of people in little times square.
people sweating,trampling you , there is no toilet !
you cant leave, bad temp .
Though i know all of those thing before i went to the ball drop because i knew i have to go.
its something that you can experience once in a lifetime..
