NOTHING COMPARES TO THE
While watching the ball drop
in Times Square is certainly an
iconic moment, you do have
options when the big night
arrives in New York City. One
unforgettable way to usher in
the New Year is on a stylish
dinner cruise departing from
New York Harbor or Chelsea
Piers. The dark waters dance
with shimmering lights during
your panoramic, front-row
seat to Lady Liberty’s fireworks
display, made all the sweeter
while feasting on a sumptuous
six-course dinner.
A New Year’s Eve helicopter
tour may not have the six-course
meal (though imagine if it did!),
but soaring above the skyscrapers
with the celebratory “bombs
bursting in air” will give your
heart an exhilarating jolt. Your
tour also takes you over Times
Square, as the crowds below
shout joyously to countdown the
year’s remaining seconds.
If you’d rather keep your feet
planted firmly on the ground,
seek out a posh restaurant
close to the action. At Andrew
Harper-recommended The
Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel, not
only can you dine on the Carlyle
Restaurant’s renowned Dover
Sole in an intimate country
house ambience, you’ll also be
near Central Park, which just
happens to be the starting line
of the New York Road Runner’s
annual four-mile Midnight Run,
a festive event with costumes,
dancing, and parades.
