This was my second time going to New York. The goal was to attend the 2018 Ball Drop, but the more we looked at the temperature drop going into it, the more we started having second thoughts. We still booked a basic Airbnb in Brooklyn, a $72.5 one way flight up via Skiplagged, a $60 return bus via Gotobus, and then we got on our way to the big Apple!
We went to Times Square on New Year’s Eve Eve to see if we would be able to withstand the weather while waiting on the ball to drop all day the next day. The conclusion was negative, but I prerecorded my snaps while I was there, and posted them the next day as if I actually stood in the cold all day. GOT’EM!
If you really want to attend the NYC ball drop make sure to do the following: 1) make sure to wear 100 layers because it is colder than you think, 2) bring snacks because you will have to arrive early to secure a good spot, 3) wear adults diapers because there is absolutely no public bathroom.
Here is a quick picture list of some of the cool things I had the chance to do during my two trips to NYC.
