New York City topped Priceline.com's Top 50 destinations for New Year's based on thousands of hotel booking requests, officials of the travel website said.
"This is the second straight year that New York City has taken the top spot, so revelers will probably see a crowded Times Square this year," Brian Ek, in-house Travel Ekspert at Priceline.com said in a statement. "Elsewhere, New Year's crowds appear to be headed to Florida and southern California where the theme parks and major parades should see solid turnouts."
