You always hear that you should do New Years in
New York City at least once before you die...I agree. However, most people think of that corny out-of-towner yelling and screaming their brains out wearing 7
Under-Armor layers (because its 13 degrees and a brisk 24 mph wind coming out of the east) and drinking hot chocolate (that was nice and warm about 3 hours ago but is now taste like a mocha ice coffee). I still agree you should do NYC but I have a different take on it. I say you grab about 13 of your best friends, buy a 1-night open bar package at a semi-classy NYC establishment, and 'live-the-dream' for about 4-5 hours. The evening started with 6 of us (mind you 3 of us had never been to NYC) taking the
metro-north to from
Brewster to
Grand Centrel Station. From there we took the 7-line to Queens to meet the rest of the group at E. Simone's place just off the campus of
St. Johns University. After a solid pre-game, we made our way back to Manhattan to the venue. I wish remember the name of the place but from about 8pm until the 'Ball-Dropped' we lived it up while ensuring we got money's worth. After the ball dropped we took it to the next level and sealed the deal as we made the 2007 New Years the best New Years Eve ever. Some of the highlights of the night included McGreevy getting temporarily kicked out of the bar for slapping Bud in the face for being 'real tired,' a member of the group being temporarily kicked out for relieving himself in a flower-vase because the bathroom line was a 20 minute wait, the DJ playing
Love Generation (the single most joyous song which we had only heard in Acapulco) right after the ball dropped and the 15 of us climbing on 2 tables and dancing through the entire song, a member of the group getting permanently kick out for punching the biggest man any of us have ever seen (he made 6'3 315 pound BIG Zach look like cabbage patch kid) and finally walking half of Manhattan looking for a cab to drive us to Queens (needless to say it took us hours to find a guy, on New Years, who would take us, what it seemed like across the country, don't worry when we found on
e -- he charged us just under million dollars) The amazing night was topped off by the 4am shenanigans (definition - Silly or high-spirited behavior; mischief) and a couple of us sleeping in positions that could not have been good for the neck. See Below.
