I finally got to step inside One Times Square—the building that’s home to the iconic New Year’s Eve Ball—and for the first time in decades, it’s open to the public in a meaningful way. I explored the new 360° wraparound Viewing Deck in Times Square, and the views are unreal. You get an elevated, river-to-river perspective over New York City, which feels completely different from street level and makes this one of the most unique New York City attractions right now. One of the highlights for me was seeing the NEW New Year’s Eve Ball up close. It’s called the Constellation Ball, and it’s massive—12.5 feet wide, over 12,000 pounds, and covered in 5,280 Waterford crystals. Seeing this NYC icon from just feet away really sets it apart from other Times Square attractions.
