If you want to witness this grand event in person, advance planning becomes a prerequisite. Needless to say, adjacent hotels are approached by interested people and finding a booking in any of their rooms can be quite a tough task.
Some people like watching the event from balconies or rooms in adjacent hotels. If you want to be present at the venue, it would be prudent to arrive there by afternoon by car or cab. Get a hang of the maps of nearby streets by searching online.
Be prepared for the climate as winter nights can be chilly an NYC. The viewers are not allowed to be in an inebriated state and hence refrain from drinking before attending the event to evade legal hassle.
