💡 Frugal Voyager Survival Secrets:
Layer Up: Wear moisture-wicking thermals under wool. Once the sun goes down, the wind tunnels between skyscrapers are brutal.
The "Pen" Strategy: If you leave your viewing pen for any reason (including the restroom), you lose your spot. Hydrate carefully!
Arrival Window: For a clear view of the ball, you need to be in the Broadway/7th Ave vicinity by 11:00 AM on Dec 31st.
