Every year a ridiculous amount of people (about one million) go to Times Square in Manhattan to see the Times Square Ball drop live in person.

Before deciding whether or not this is something you want to do you should think about whether or not you are the type of person who can handle being squeezed up next to a million other people. Times Square is almost always crazy but on New Year's Eve it is truly insane. If you are a claustrophobic type you will likely not enjoy yourself.

But it is a unique experience to actually be there in person. Think about it, this is something that about 100 million Americans (and about ONE BILLION people worldwide) watch on video. To see it live is a special experience.

Make your Times Square hotel reservations online.

Ono is a fantastic Japanese restaurant located in Greenwich Village. It's address is 18 Ninth Ave.

This is a pretty fancy joint so reservations are recommended (212-660-6766.)

How about the hours? It's open until midnight Sunday through Thursday and until 1 AM on Friday & Saturday.

How about the prices? It's not cheap but it's not over the top expensive either.

How about the atmosphere? Well this is not your usual calm serene Japanese restaurant. Ono includes murals of tattooed body parts, an illuminated sushi bar, and private cabanas in the outside dining area.

And no, Ono has nothing to do with Yoko Ono (except that whole Japanese angle.)
