New York
Looking for an alternative to the traditional dropping of the ball on Times Square or all those fancy parties in hotel ballrooms? Consider a cruise in New York Harbor. "New York City, one of the most famous New Year's Eve spot in the world, can also be the one most likely to break the bank," Taheri says. "An all-inclusive cruise could be the solution in these challenging economic times." From the Circle Line to Spirit Cruises to the New York Water Taxi, cruising offers a prime spot for viewing fireworks along with an open bar, entertainment and more. gonyc.about.com/od/newyearsevecruises
Copacabana Beach
Rio de Janeiro
"If you're sick of the wet and wild winter weather and are ready for a steamy hot New Year's Eve, Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana Beach could be the answer for you," Taheri says. Thousands of partygoers descend on the sand to listen to live music, watch a huge offshore fireworks display and celebrate until dawn. "Make sure you wear white clothes for good luck and peace in the New Year," Taheri says. copacabana.info
London
"Approximately 700,000 revelers descend on the Thames River and central London to hear Big Ben signal the start of the New Year and watch fireworks launched from the London Eye," Taheri says. "The best viewing is from Westminster and Waterloo bridges and the north embankment of the river, opposite the Eye." Alternatively, go to Trafalgar Square, another hip spot to join the cheering crowds. visitlondon.com
