When you think of ringing in the new year in New York City, it\u2019s likely that cramming yourself into the crowd in Times Square, waiting to watch the ball fall at midnight, comes to mind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While this is a great, and popular way to celebrate the holiday, you may be looking for something a little more off the beaten path. If you want to have a great time this New Year\u2019s Eve without the major crowds, check out these 5 things to do:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Secret warehouse location TBD $65-$120<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While you won\u2019t know exactly where in the city this expansive event is taking place until the last minute, it promises to be big fun. Starting at 9 p.m., guests can expect to be entertained by fire- breathers, aerialists, zip-line performances, and a silent disco.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Musical entertainment from Captain Claude VonStroke, Bleep Bloop, and more will take over two stages during this eight-hour bash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Enjoy Central Park at night, lit by fireworks from elsewhere in the city, on this loop race that includes a few hills and ends with a nice, flat stretch of road. Arrive early (after 10 p.m.) to enjoy music and dancing with your fellow runners before heading out for the race.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Awards will be given to the top three men and women overall.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
