Looking for ball drop views in New York City? Well, Manhattan (close to Times Square) is the only place you should be seeking a venue for ball drop views. Here are a few venues that was shared with us from members of the New York Forum.

Dining: Diner & Restaurants
* Bubba Gump Shrimp Company
* Olive Garden
* T.G.I. Friday’s
* R Lounge

Expect advance reservations and minimum age requirements if alcohol (such as champagne) will be served to guest.

Lodging: Hostel, Hotel & Motels
* Doubletree Guest Suites Times Square
* Marriott Marquis Hotel Times Square
* Sheraton Manhattan Hotel
* Renaissance Hotel Times Square

Expect advance phone reservations for the room with triple digit rates and require a minimum stay with the lower the rate, the longer the days and the higher the rate, the shorter the required days of stay. Since the weather can ground your return or connection flight from LGA or JFK, try to have the contact information ready of a economy hotel that you can switch to for the remainder of your stay. Other options would be to take the train or bus to another airport that flights are unaffected by the weather.
