Before heading into New York City’s Times Square NYE 2019 celebration, here’s everything you should know! Get details on the weather & more.
Before heading into New York City’s Times Square donning your foam fingers and 2019 sunglasses, be prepared. Seriously — there are no portable restrooms, so you don’t want to miss out on any other must-know facts! As this is a free event and no tickets are required, get there early, preferably “early in the afternoon,” as Times Square’s website suggests. However, the iconic ball won’t be lighted and raised until about 6:00 p.m. EST. Beware of companies that tout “All Access” passes, because authorities refused access beyond police check points the year prior!
As for how to actually get in, you can only enter through 6th Avenue or 8th Avenue. For a thorough list of access points on New York streets, including pedestrian and subway chutes, click the “How do I enter Times Square or New Year’s Eve?” tab on the website’s FAQ.
