NYE Times Square  Hey all.  So my wife and I are heading over to
the US from Australia in December for a month long road trip
starting in New Orleans and ending in New York City for NYE.
I've been reading a lot about TImes Square (which we have both
been to once before) at NYE and we don't like the idea of being
in a pig pen for 12+ hours so we are looking for somewhere to
go.  We are in our late 20's and early 30's so we would like to
go somewhere fun but not too crazy and would have access to see
the ball drop either from inside or access to go outside and
watch it. Our budget is up to $500 each.  Would anyone have any
suggestions?? I know that the locals tend to find other things
to do but its not everyday we are NYC for NYE.  Thanks in
advance!!
