Revelers begin arriving in the late afternoon of New Year's Eve. At approximately 3:00 PM, the bowtie section of Times Square (42nd to 47th Streets between Broadway and Seventh Avenue) will be completely closed to traffic. The NYPD instructs revelers to gather in different viewing areas. When one area fills up, police direct revelers to the next viewing area. As the night progresses, revelers continue to pour into Times Square along Broadway and Seventh Avenue and move downtown from 43rd Street as far as Central Park. If you plan to come to Times Square to attend the festivities, it is recommended that you enter from Sixth or Eighth Avenue. The earlier you arrive, the better your chances of getting a viewing spot near the ball (Broadway and 43rd Street). As the crowds pour north, police will block off those blocks one by one as they deem necessary. The best places to view the ball are along Broadway from 43rd to 50th Streets, and Seventh Avenue as far north as 59th Street, so arrive early to get the best spot. 
The celebration begins with the lighting and raising of the New Year’s Eve Ball atop One Times Square. The ball lights up at 6:00 PM and begins to rise, accompanied by special pyrotechnic effects. Then, the bright red-clad Times Square Alliance cleaning crew begins handing out tens of thousands of fun party favors—those famous hats, glasses, and noisemakers—to Times Square revelers to help celebrate the new year. 
Don’t forget one of the best parts of New Year’s in Times Square—the New Year’s Rockin’ Eve Show! At around 8 PM, the stage comes alive with performances from some of your favorite musical guests. This year’s host will be national TV and radio star Allison Hagendorf. The farewell show for 2019 will be performed by pop diva Taylor Swift! 
Sixty seconds before the big moment, the New Year’s Eve Ball begins to descend. At the stroke of midnight, the lights on the ball go down and the New Year’s numbers, “2019,” shine over Times Square. The world-famous New Year's confetti falls from the rooftops of Times Square buildings, creating a colorful blizzard of celebration, while revelers welcome the New Year amidst a colorful fireworks display.

Central Park is very fun. There are large lawns and many squirrels running around. You can rent bicycles and ride horse-drawn carriages in the park. It is also nice to just walk around. There is a huge children&#39;s playground not far from Columbus circle. Children from all over the world who come to New York come here to play. They can play in the sand and water, and there are slides, swings, and rockeries. It is easy to play for half a day. There are also many people playing on the lawn. Many people there like to throw frisbees. Many families come here for vacation. It doesn&#39;t get dark until about 8:30 in the summer in the United States, so it&#39;s no problem to play in the park for a whole day!

Very good Bronx Zoo, one of the must-see places in New York. I really like the facilities and garden design here. It is beautiful and friendly to watch. We didn&#39;t see many animals because it was raining.

Bryant Park

泰迪小熊

Came here on September 20, 2017.

Bryant Park is adjacent to the New York Public Library. It is named after the American naturalist poet William Cullen Bryant and is a public space covering one block.

In the middle of the park is a large square lawn; on the east side is a statue of Bryant, with his back against the New York Public Library, looking at the tourists in the park; on the west side of the lawn is a fountain; and around it are a circle of tables and chairs for tourists to relax and rest.

Perhaps because it is in a busy city and next to the library, there are quite a lot of tourists in the park, it is very lively and full of life.
