New York City is one of the most iconic places in the country to spend New Year's Eve; almost everyone in the country has seen or at least heard of the ball drop in Times Square.

Plenty of people visit the city with the intention of spending the entire evening in Times Square, but there are plenty of other things to do as well.

You'll be able to find a party at all of the city's most famous bars, and anyone looking for a more family-friendly celebration can enjoy the live music and fireworks held every year at Prospect Park in Brooklyn.
