As
a die hard Californian, I’ve always been fascinated with New York City, especially during New Years
Eve New York. Sky rises, bright lights, fast paced, overly eager and yet still
abundantly soothing. There are many splendors that the Big Apple has to offer
but sometimes, we just can’t keep up with all the things that are going on.
Especially with someone like me; a newly joined resident of Manhattan from the opposite side of the
country, has a difficult time to know where to go, what to see, why to go see
it, etc. An outside perspective can always offer new insights, especially one
that has much more experience and it’s never a bad thing to have too much
information. What better way to make an educated decision based on the knowledge
that you have? Blog’s are quickly becoming the forefront of educating an
end-user about a product, service or experience – sometimes a critic’s opinion
is just not enough. Being in the middle of Time Square when the ball drops at
midnight in on NYC New Years has always been something that I have wanted to do but
from reading the savvy blogs below, it might sway me to try something that
isn’t so cliche.
