All the people we have met in New York are more than happy to help- including the cops with their riot gear inc assault rifle out front of our hotel. The streets are all blocked leading to Times Square and you can only get through if you have a hotel pass.
To give you an idea, they have locked people out of an area about the size of Adelaide cbd- if you wanted to get in you needed to be in by around 4pm, and once you are in you can not leave.
Have booked dinner uptown on 7th near central park- they have a balcony where we can see the ball drop, albeit at a distance.
All the locals keep on saying how many Aussies are in town right now, with one guy asking 'how many are left back home.. they're all here!'
