You may want to get a room as quickly as you can. Try Priceline, Quikbook, or Kayak but be aware that Christmas to Jan. 2 is the most expensive time in NYC. If you plan on going to Times Square, you need to get there very early, like in the afternoon, where you will be placed in a pen. If you leave for food or to find a bathroom (good luck with that) you will not be allowed back to your place. It s not for the faint hearted. I d find a club or go to the fireworks in Central Park.

If you want to save money, consider staying Jersey City, NJ. You can still take the PATH train into and out of Manhattan.The link below shows the rates for a night stay in one of the many hotels in Jersey City.http://travel.yahoo.com/p-hotel-477673?f��In regards on where you want to go to Times Square or a club, well, that up to you. However, if you don t want to deal with the crowds in Times Square, I would recommend going to a club.The links below will be very helpful.http://www.timeout.com/newyork/http://newyork.metromix.com/eventsGood luck and enjoy your trip
Consider staying in Hoboken NJ, or Staten Island NY. That way it will be cheaper, and plus you have the easiest transportation right into manhattan (a ferry!)Nightclubs in NYC near times square is amazing, so if you re into club scenes, definitely go go go!!!But to hang out in times square when the ball drops is very very very crowded, and if it s going to be cold, you may not have as much fun as everyone looks on tv. When it s cold, you have to pee, but guess what? No bathrooms!!!!
