It looks like there are plenty of options instead of the ball drop in Times Square to choose from these days. Who wouldn't want to see a walleye drop or edible bologna mark the new year?
Find watching the ball dropping in Times Square a bit dull? Then try taking part in some of the other drops going on around the United States on New Year's Eve with crabs, pirates and cheeses all set to fall.
Website TripAdvisor has come up with a list of America's top 10 quirkiest New Year's Eve drops on advice of its editors and travelers. This list is not endorsed by Reuters.
"While New York City's famous ball drop in Times Square is a spectacular sight, there are other uniquely wonderful ways Americans can ring in the New Year," said TripAdvisor spokeswoman Michele Perry. "While they range from clever to wacky, it's clear that New Year's Eve is about celebrating traditions and enjoying the company of a crowd."
