Watch the Ball Drop on New Year's Eve in New York's Times Square
while Celebrating on Historic Espanola Way!
Watch the New Year's Ball drop from Times Square in New York on a
Big Screen. Historic Espanola Way, located between Washington Avenue
at Espanola Way in Miami Beach, will celebrate the coming of the New
Year with a block party starting at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, December
31, 2005. A large television screen will be set up in the street
opposite Café Nuvo so that visitors and residents alike can watch
the New Year's Ball drop from Times Square in New York. 

Española way is a narrow pedestrian street with lights located in South Beach between Washington and Meridian Avenues, 14th and 15th streets. It has a cool hispanic flair to it. You kinda feel like youre in Ibiza, Spain or Mexico. If you're more into lounges and terraces...that's your place! You'll find outdoor lounges, cafes, art galleries, cool independent boutiques, and jewellery merchants along Espanola Way. The outdoor restaurants and cafes you'll find there are Italian, Mexican, Japanese/Sushi, Cuban, Spanish tapas, French cafe and a Mojito Lounge.

Celebrate the arrival of 2006 by strolling down Espanola Way in the
heart of Art Deco and dining at one of seven international
restaurants. Boutique shops and art galleries will be open for shopping
or just browsing.

As the new year approaches, New York City gets ready for its annual
Times Square celebration. The famous ball drop atop One Times Square
has been a tradition dating back to 1906.

Celebrations on this night typically include going to parties or
gathering in public places. One of the most famous gatherings occurs
at Times Square in New York City. At 11:59:00 p.m., a six-foot
shimmering ball (actually an apple) is lowered 70 feet in sixty
seconds. When the apple reaches it destination at midnight, bells
ring, confetti is tossed, and everyone shouts "Happy New Year!" This
tradition began in 1907 after New York City outlawed firecrackers
for New Year's Eve. The lowering of the ball is followed by the
singing of Auld Lang Syne and drinking a toast to the new year.

Words adapated from a traditional song by Rabbie Burns (1759-96)
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne? CHORUS: For
auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll take a cup of
kindness yet, For auld lang syne!
