Orlando, Florida, plucks honor from Big Apple as best city in America to celebrate New Year's Eve

The city of Orlando, Florida, supplanted New York City as the best city in America to celebrate New Year's Eve in a new study by personal finance company Wallet Hub.
Orlando's ascendancy as a New Year's Eve destination comes after years of trends empowering Florida while the Empire State has been losing its once-unmatched prominence. One New York City official dismissed the study, arguing that Orlando still doesn't have the juice to compete with the Big Apple. "It's comparing apples and oranges. New York City has been the place that America and the world looks to for many years to ring in the New Year." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
Florida surpassed New York in population, electoral votes and representatives in Congress following the 2020 U.S. Census.
