The streets of downtown Brooklyn crawled with New Yorkers eager to find out more about what's going on in their own backyards and how they can get involved.

From Wikipedia:

Times Square is the site of the annual New Year's Eve ball drop. On December 31, 1907, a ball signifying New Year's Day was first dropped at Times Square, and the tourist destination has held the main New Year's celebration in Manhattan ever since. At midnight, hundreds of thousands of people congregate to watch the Waterford crystal ball being lowered on a pole atop the building (though not to the street, as is a common misconception), marking the new year. It replaced a lavish fireworks display from the top of the building that was held from 1904 to 1906, only to be outlawed by city officials. Beginning in 1908, and for more than eighty years thereafter, Times Square sign maker Artkraft Strauss was responsible for the ball-lowering. During World War II, a minute of silence, followed by a recording of church bells pealing, replaced the ball drop because of wartime blackout restrictions. Today, Countdown Entertainment and One Times Square handle the New Years' Eve event in conjunction with the Times Square Alliance. A new energy-efficient LED ball, celebrating the centennial of the ball drop, debuted for the arrival of 2008.
On average, about 750,000 revelers crowd Times Square for the New Year's Eve celebrations. However, for the millennium celebration on December 31, 1999, published reports stated approximately 2 million people overflowed Times Square, flowing from 6th Avenue to 8th Avenue and all the way back on Broadway and Seventh Avenues to 59th Street, making it the largest gathering in Times Square since August 1945 during celebrations marking the end of World War II.
In 1972, entertainer Dick Clark began hosting a live half-hour ABC special detailing the event entitled Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, which not only aired the descent of the ball, but also performances from popular bands and commentary from various hosts in other cities, notably Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and Orlando. During the millennium celebrations in 1999, Peter Jennings based ABC's operations in Times Square, hosting ABC 2000 Today.

Travelling's Hard! Which is why I LOVE the Internet!

So, you and I know that in today's economy, it is getting harder to get around without paying an arm and a leg.  Just look at what's happened with the monthly Unlimited Metrocards in NYC - $81.00 for "eh" service! Now gas prices are going up and my expendable income is shrinking. I really love to travel (just ask anyone of my friends) - whether it's to a US or International destination, but I really can't afford the plane ticket, room and board costs plus gifts for my loved ones anymore.

For a short trip to London, that would cost me $900 for a 3 day vacation (and that's not long enough to really enjoy a city)! Between available time and money issues, what was I supposed to do? Thanks to the internet, I don't have to feel too bad about my situation (especially with blogs like this where I can write about my feelings).

At www.NYCwebstore.com, for example, it looks like I can travel anywhere I want (gift-wise that is) at the click of a button! From Ireland, London, Paris, Germany, Italy, Russia, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Texas, Chicago, New Orleans, Florida, DC, Boston and finally, the city closest to my heart, New York City, they really do have it all! I bought the cutest things like a New Orleans Snow Globe, a California Travel Book that had some crazy and interesting stories I've never found in other general guides, a London Telephone Booth Bank, Brooklyn Bridge Wire Model, Christmas Ornaments on Sale (I love discounts! Tip for others: they have a big clearance section for those of us who like a break), Rockefeller Center Souvenirs (I know it's almost April, but I love the holiday season!), Chicago Mug, Las Vegas Musical Snow Globe, Italy Bracelet, and DC Mint Tins. Yeah, I went overboard (and I had wayyy too much time to have written this entry), but I really enjoyed my travel experience from the safety and comfort of my own home. Thanks, nycwebstore.com!
