What this experience is
The Times Square EDITION is advertising a New Year's Eve celebration to toast 2027 at its Times Square hotel. What sets it apart is access. Both published packages include VIP access to live, unobstructed Ball Drop viewing in Times Square, with a security escort from the property.
Guests choose between two formats. 701West is a multi-course tasting menu with wine pairings. The Garden Party is a canapé-and-cocktail celebration. Both end with a two-hour open-bar after-party from midnight to 2 AM, which makes this one of the most complete “party plus Ball Drop” options we have reviewed.
