2008 certainly shook things up. Why not do the same and ring in the New Year in the heart of New York City? It’s not too late to plan a trip to the Big Apple and celebrate in the ‘City that Never Sleeps.’ And with NY Habitat apartments available in Midtown West only blocks from Times Square, you’ll be right in the middle of the action.
Now is your chance to experience the famous countdown up close and personal. Soak in the neon lights, live entertainment and unbelievable energy. For optimal viewing of the Times Square festivities, GET THERE EARLY! People start claiming their swath of sidewalk by early afternoon. The ball drops at One Times Square but large video screens are also located along Broadway from 50th to 58th Street. For more information on all of the confetti-filled fun, check out the Times Square Alliance’s New Year Page .
Get a jump-start on the crowds by leaving from your very own Midtown West vacation rental. Check out:
A modern 1 Bedroom Rental in a Midtown West (NY-12442) high-rise building. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances – a great perk for those looking to save on cash by eating in. And with a gym on the 12th floor, you can make good on that New Year’s resolution right away. Enjoy the minimalist decor, onsite laundry and around-the-clock doorman and front desk service. A rollaway bed is available upon request.
A 1 Bedroom Duplex Rental in Chelsea (NY-15001) located on the ground and first floor of a four-story townhouse, just a few blocks North from the the West Village. This duplex apartment includes exposed wooden ceiling beams in the kitchen, a den with a piano and a living room with a library of books. There is also the luxury of a backyard patio and garden that are private to this apartment.
After a big night out braving the crowds and the cold, you might be craving the comfort of the indoors. Head to the Midtown West Theater District (surrounding Times Square) to enjoy a relaxing New Year’s Day at a world-class Broadway show. But make sure to check the show times in advance since most productions do have holiday schedules.

Amazing! Being in Times Square when the ball was dropping was great. The crowd, the atmosphere…I can’t even describe all of my feelings. Just a terrific time altogether.
When I visited New York City during t he holidays and was able to be in Times Square on New Year’s Eve, I was in awe. Soooo many people, and everyone is singing and dancing, drinking and having a good time. There was an air of romance that one can only understand by experiencing it. It was definitely my best New year’s ever!
I was in NYC last year for New Year’s Eve. I was in Time Square, the weather was mild. I was with a ton of friends and we had a blast. It is really something that you have to experience once in your life!!!
Last year I was in New York City for Dec 31th, I was my native friends of Broklyn and we went in Brooklyn Heights we had an amazing time. We were dancing, drinking and of course the view of the city is terrific!!!
