Well, it’s finally here… the end of 2008. Time to celebrate!!! If you didn’t get that big Christmas bonus (or you did, but you already spent it all), are cutting costs, don’t feel like going out to Time Square, the bars or the parties, but you don’t want to just stay in – don your coat, hat and gloves and head on down to the New Year’s Fireworks at Grand Army Plaza. From 11pm to 12:15am, there will be entertainment, warm refreshments and sights galore, with a fabulous fireworks to kick off the new year, of course promptly at midnight.

Best locations for viewing the fireworks include: anywhere in Grand Army Plaza, inside the Park on the West Drive, and along Prospect Park West between grand Army Plaza and 9th Street. By train: 2 or 3 to Grand Army Plaza station; Q to 7th Ave. Station (Flatbush Ave.). By bus: B-41, B-71, B-69. Grand Army Plaza

And, it’s always a nice display.
