I don't get it either. I asked my daughter not to come home tonight. Is too crowded. She has to come by Times Square and is ridiculous the amount of people on the street to see a light ball drop and the majority of them will not even see it. She is much safer staying home. I was at Penn Station at 6:00PM and couldn't get out of there fast enough. The trains were packed. I needed to go to the pharmacy after, no way! Everything closed. Everything was open on Christmas Eve!
