Is Sioux Falls One of the Best Cities to Celebrate New Year's Eve

Okay, let's just admit it from the get-go, the winner of this, shall we call it - - "competition", is without question New York City. I mean they have the whole insane Times Square experience.

From the dropping of the Swaroski Crystal ball that is worth a bazillion dollars to the thousands of people, (including prolific pickpockets) who temporarily inhabit one of the most famous landmarks in the city, New York is hands down the winner of the best city in which to celebrate New Year's Eve.

Times Square rivals Las Vegas for its eye-popping, flashing billboards, and neon lights. Plus it's sort of an entertainment mecca with an overabundance of restaurants, theaters, clubs, museums and the list goes on. Okay, so now we know who number one is.
