Do bars lock down during new years eve in NYC b/c it gets too wild? How hard is it to get a drink? -

My girlfriend s uncle said the bars are locked down to keep the crazyness down during New Years Eve in NYC. Is this true? Is it hard to get a drink with all of the people around? Do the metros work or am I going to have to take a cab? Thank you!

I suppose it might depend on what part of the City you are talking about, but most bars make a lot of money on New Years Eve. I think most of them will be open!

Some do, mainly in time square. But I don t think it would be too hard, But based on personal experience, do not drink, because we got our spot in time square 12 hours in advance. And if you left to go to the bathroom, you lost your spot. And the crowd will not move for you. I would wait to drink after midnight.

The Times Square all access pass is amazing! I did it last year with my girlfriend and some friends and we had a great time. http://newyearsplans.com/nyc-times-squar��15 hrs, 10 bars, 5 clubs, 1 AWESOME TIME!Buy your Times Square All Access Pass! �C Limited Quantity Available.The most famous New Year s Eve celebration in the world, attending the New Year s Eve Ball Drop in Times Square is a memorable way to spend New Year s Eve in New York City.While everyone else is frozen outside, literally �C you can hop from one party to another!
