New Year's Eve 2020: Where they celebrated in the U.S.

The celebration of the New Year in America differs from the traditions living in the countries of the post-Soviet space: after all, the main winter holiday for Americans is Christmas. New Year's Eve here is less reverent and more restrained, but also very cheerful and noisy, with a traditional glass of champagne by the Christmas tree and midnight walks through the streets of decorated cities. To feel this difference, it is better to go there personally, capturing a few days before Christmas and stepping over the threshold of the New Year.

American family holiday

We celebrated the beginning of the year with a family in big cities, for this a tourist visa is issued to the United States, where many festive events are traditionally held for people of different ages, so you can easily please every family member. If it was decided to celebrate the holiday in New York, then you should definitely stay in some high-rise hotel in the historic city center to view the magnificence of the metropolis from a bird's eye view.

On evening walks, it is important not to forget to turn to Rockefeller Center, where the main city tree with 30,000 multi-colored lights is installed. It is decorated with a Swarovski star, three meters in diameter. It is also worth a look at the Wallman Rink skating rink, familiar to us from American films, located in the Central Park of the city.

The richest selection of gifts for every taste and wallet is always ready to offer the Disney Store toy store. There, their future little owners are waiting for the heroes of their favorite cartoons.

New Year in America does not belong to the category of family holidays, it is customary to celebrate it not in a secluded setting, but in public: in clubs, cafes, in the city's Times Square among the buzzing crowd of citizens and numerous tourists. It is rare that on New Year's Eve someone decides to retire with their family at home, but if this happens, then the dress code at the family celebration is completely non-holiday: pajamas and warm socks, which gives the holiday an atmosphere of comfort and coziness.

New Year's party with friends

There is no better place to celebrate the New Year with friends than America. Locals secretly call New Year's Eve a holiday of friends. On New Year's Eve, all establishments are open here that are completely closed on Christmas Eve: bars, restaurants, clubs. Noisy companies are everywhere - this is the main attribute of the American New Year's holiday.

The main action of the New Year's Eve in New York takes place on December 31 at 23:59 in Times Square, when the ball of time rises into the sky - the Times Square Ball - the starting point of the New Year. This tradition came to the culture of Americans from the distant 1907. And it is still considered a favorite New Year's ritual, akin to the Russian chiming clock on Red Square.

Romantic New Year

Spending New Year's Eve alone with your beloved is not only romantic, but also promising: "as you celebrate the New Year, so you will spend it." But it is better to book a secluded table in a chic restaurant in November. Especially popular with couples in love is: Guy's American Kitchen - for lovers of American cuisine and Guy's American Kitchen - for connoisseurs of Mexican dishes. Making a wish by raising a glass of champagne is also customary in America, and there is no doubt that the desires of American couples in love converge.

You can meet the New Year, circling to the magical music in a slow waltz, in the historical ballroom of the Gotham Hall Hotel, and cross the border of the year on smooth ice in a pair with your beloved on the skating rink of Rockefeller Center, Central Park or Brighton Park.

In general, it doesn’t matter where to spend the New Year holidays in the American way, the main thing is with whom!
