Seeing the ball drop in Times Square is witnessed by millions of people around the country, even if they aren&#8217;t in the same time zone. Attending a New Year's Eve party can cost a pretty penny anywhere, but it is especially expensive in Times Square.</span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">Many New Year&#8217;s goers sit down at a nice restaurant to have a delicious meal to close the book on the year. Others choose to attend a party with a champagne toast. There are plenty of those options in Times Square, including the Michelin-starred Gabriel Kreuther, which is charging participants $175 to attend the restaurants festivities. It&#8217;s a high tab to spend for a meal, but it is nowhere near the amount some of the chain restaurants are charging people to be seated in their properties.</span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style=""><br /></span></div><div id="pastingspan1"><span style="">A few chain restaurants are charging a king's ransom for their New Year&#8217;s celebration.
