And I heard from a friend who works in NYC you'd better watch out for pickpockets down there on New Year's Eve.

never once, not even when I was young, did I think New Year's Eve in Times Square was something I wanted to do.

Literally.

mini-marathon in Central Park - Do they still hold one of those on NYE?

I want to rent out a room with a balcony over Time's Square on New Year's Eve and throw out mittens and scarves to the people below. Anything to keep the revelry going.

The people who do well work over the square, so, they don't have to take out a mortgage to watch with warm, indoor plumbing.

Where do they pee?

no bathrooms. It's nuts.

I've heard stories about public urination right into the street, but I haven't been there to see it personally.

I'm gonna assume there are no Depends on the shelves in that neighborhood.....

Or do they let them loose at some point? Looks like people are free to walk down the sidewalks and the cross streets... so do they have to leave at some point? The logistics of this is... confusing... but compelling at the same time.

re-admittance if you leave. Having been to NYC marches and protests, I can also tell you that the rules change without warning: The police are given sudden, new directions through their radios, and what you thought was happening stops or changes.

So, it's all just wild and out of control. No way would I ever attempt it.

No closer, and not much moving around once it’s filling up. Been on the square a couple times, no way would I do it without a cozy office to return to anytime I wanted.

Ive always heard. I’d never go either, unless it involved a hotel room.

"public urination right into the street..."

If you ever have visited then you know that all of the city smells like urine.

ETA when I go to events like this I simply don't drink anything.

When I went to the Women's March, I didn't have any water until I was back at Penn Station.

Try it!

Go on!

Try it!

Heavy Metal parking lot in Long Beach ain't no Times Square, though, weather-wise.

--$50 a pair??

Seriously, who has a bladder that big?

NEVER AGAIN

wanted to do. I hate the cold, I hate crowds and I hate not having my conveniences (liquids - I am always very thirsty - and bathroom facilities). New Year's Eve isn't really my favorite holiday anyway.

I'm just going to order some Chinese food and watch movies tonight. I'm sick, so I might not even make it to midnight.

No matter what the weather was. I really do not like crowds.

Those people standing out tonight are crazy.

it's my idea of what hell must be like!
