Happy New Year! It’s THE RIDE here with some suggestions on how to celebrate New Year’s Eve in New York City. All eyes are on New York at this time of year, so you definitely want to do something special as you welcome the year 2017. Here are some ideas:

Join the Party at Times Square

Every year revelers from around the world converge on the Big Apple to watch the famous lighted ball drop on the stroke of midnight. If you’ve only seen this party on TV, you owe it to yourself to head over to Times Square and join this monumental celebration. 

Race into the New Year

Jumpstart your New Year’s resolutions by joining the New York Road Runners for a Midnight Run through Central Park. Fireworks, music and an enthusiastic crowd make this event festive and fun.

Party with THE RIDE

Why wait until nighttime to celebrate the New Year? Get your party started early on THE RIDE, knowing that it is already midnight somewhere! There will be music, dancing and plenty of entertainment all morning long—so you don’t need to wait until dark. And since the amazing HOLIDAY EDITION of THE RIDE will be ending soon, enjoying this magical attraction the morning of December 31 makes good sense, too!

Signing up for THE RIDE is easy! Just click to see the schedule or head over to the Box Office. Either way, I hope you’ll be partying with THE RIDE this NYE!
