We went to see the Radio City Christmas Show a couple weeks ago. The show let out just as they were seating for the next show, the street/sidewalk was swarmed. I grew up in the city of Philadelphia (I'm sure you know our reputation) and I have NEVER in my life been engulfed in a crowd like that. I had my daughter wrap her arms around my waist as it was the only thing I could do to keep us together. I tried to barrel through the crowd, but I couldn't even move! It was like a major group hug, thats how tight it was LITERALLY. I can only imagine New Year's Eve!

ETA: I'm sure many of those same Eve attendees will have the same idea as you on New Year's Day, though I could be mistaken. I wish you the best of luck. Be safe, and remember New Years in NY is a pocketpickers Christmas!

I was there a couple of years ago on New Year's Eve DAY and it wasn't bad until around 3pm or 4pm and then we got out of there.

I was there on New Years Day last year and it was pretty much a ghost town. I think most people are up all night and sleep half the day. It was quite nice actually.

I'm thinking about going in on New Years Day too! I'm just curious as to what Times Square looks like on New Years Day. And I want to go ice skating

I'm thinking it will be mostly cleaned up from the night before.
We went in day after ticker tape parade and you would have
never known there was a parade!! I know dec is a complete
mob scene so I avoid the city that month, but would love
to see the decos with low crowds. Have fun if you go in!!!!

Thanks! I went this past Friday to go to World of Disney one last time and it wasn't as crowded as I expected. I didn't go to the really touristy areas like Times Square or Rockefeller Center though. Actually, I did go to Saks and that was a disaster. I spent maybe 5 minutes in the store before leaving.
