It happens every New Year's Eve at midnight, a big, shiny ball drops from the top of Times Square. It attracts hundreds of thousands of partygoers willing to stand for hours and brave the cold, lack of toilets and possible pickpockets. Yet for thousands, there is nowhere else to be at midnight on New Year's Eve. The lucky ones have hotel rooms, offices or apartments from which they can safely view the festivities. In recent years, the city has stepped up police security and the enforcement of its no alcohol rule. Admission is free.
