Both New York City and the Coastal South draw in many tourists every year. The Coastal South has exciting locations such as New Orleans, beaches along the coasts of the Carolinas, and Florida. Florida in itself is a very popular tourist spot, with Orlando and its famous theme parks (Disneyworld, Universal Studies, and SeaWorld), and Miami. Just like we have discussed previously, New York City attracts millions of tourists every year. There are endless amounts of things to see and experience while visiting New York City.
New York City's Times Square is the location for the New Years Eve ball drop. Hundreds of thousands of people gather here every new years eve to celebrate the coming of the new year. On December 31, 1999, on the welcoming of the new millennium, it was recorded that 2 million people filled the Times Square area. Another popular celebration happens in New Orleans, Louisiana, called Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras ( French for "fat Tuesday") is celebrated the day before Ash Wednesday, before Lent begins. What started out as a religious tradition, has turned into quite the party, where people dress up, get drunk, and throw beaded necklaces at others.
