The celebration officially starts at 6 PM, as the Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball is raised to the top of the pole at One Times Square. There will also be a bevy of performances and more during the celebration, but be sure to bring your own food, or eat before as the city kicks out all the food carts and stands for the night. Be sure to bring some water as well; you’re in for a long evening of fun!
