    nice pics Leslie! I was back in NYC as well – just posted on the impressive fireworks from Sydney, compared with my past 2 years of NYE in Hong Kong and Taipei. Good to be back!

    Looks like you guys had a really fun day! I wish I could have been there, I would love to see all the store windows and their decorations!

    Wow, you braved the crowds in Times Square. Cool pictures. Happy New Year!

      I enjoyed checking out Times Square during the day, but would never submit to the no-bathroom, no-food and no-alcohol policy at night!

    Great photos. Can’t believe you braved the crowd. I went once and it was tame compared to this. We arrived almost at midnight and got fairly close. The Rockefeller Center photos took me back- that’s where I learned to skate.

      Thanks! Actually, I visited Times Square during the afternoon (around 1 pm) to take the photos, and made sure to be as far from midtown as possible during the evening hours. I can’t deal with those crowds, lack of bathrooms and strict beverage/food policies during New Years Eve! I did visit Times Square for New Years around 1998, before the security restrictions. I was able to walk to the area right before midnight without any restrictions. Those were the days 🙂
