Dave &amp; Busters! Most bars, clubs and restaurants have NYE events with an open bar and buffet. The events are always at least 5-hours long, and it&#8217;s unrealistic to think that you&#8217;re actually going to be dancing for that entire time. Plus, you don&#8217;t get seats unless you purchase a premium VIP ticket ($$$). We decided to go to Dave &amp; Busters, just the two of us. Eat, drink, dance, play games! The general admission tickets came to around $100, including all the fees.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d think that Times Square would be a mad house, especially with all the people there to see the ball drop, but everything was under control. They fenced off areas for people with event tickets. I&#8217;ve never seen the sidewalks in Times Square so empty! The longest line we had to wait in was for coat check at Dave &amp; Busters. What a surprise!<\/p>\n<p>Whoever came up with the concept of Dave &amp; Busters is a genius. Everyone loves arcade games, and when you add food and drinks into the mix, it&#8217;s a whole lot of fun. We nibbled away on crispy chicken tenders, pizza bites, mini burgers, brownies and cookies. And of course, we took advantage of the 5-hour premium open bar. :)<\/p>\n<p>We thought that we would only have enough tickets for some random trinket, but ended up coming home with a penguin (my toy!), a bouncy ball (John&#8217;s toy) and candy. We were over by skeeball machines when we noticed how empty the arcade space had become. That&#8217;s when we realized it was approaching midnight, so we wandered off to see where the countdown was. We rushed over just in time to join the last 8 seconds of the countdown! Haha.
