Same here about NYC's New Year's Eve. I went down to it once when I lived there and all I could think about was that it would be so easy to rob, pillage, cause mischief, etc as everyone's drunk and the cops couldn't get through the crows easily.
Having said that I'm going to a friend's apt with a view of Seattle's Space Needle. You couldn't pay me to go down there.
