Who needs Times Square?

Posted by Anne Fitzgerald, Globe Travel Editor November 30, 2007 01:26 PM

Let the masses wait for the ball to fall.
There's another way to ring in the new year -- and still be out in the chill air.
Dr. Phil's New York Talks and Walks is offering a Brooklyn Bridge Walk Into the New Year.
Groups will set out from the Dunkin Doughnuts at 132 Nassau St. between 10:15 and 11:15 on New Year's Eve. Registration starts at 9:45 p.m.
For $50 cash that night or $40 if you prepay by credit card, you'll get a chance to party with the hearty.
