New Years Eve
Times Square Review
Not exactly going out of business
Going Out of Business Review
This is such a huge tourist trap. This is one of those things that gets huge tv coverage but I honestly would never participate in. I have been lucky enough to see it and experience it without being in it.
They cattle pen you in. Its only half way across the street. And you can NOT leave once you're there. So you are standing there with no food drinks or packs and no bathroom for around 9 hours.
Review Helpfulness: 
When you are in areas where stores have Going out of business signs they arent really going anywhere. The name might change on the DBA cert they hold or something but they have been in the GOB state for years and years. Avoid them.
