We had an absolute blast last year at the whistle blow with so many of our friends, customers, neighbors and tons of foreign tourists from France, Japan, Germany and even Texas! Don’t miss the event that literally blows Times Square away!

Who wants to see a gaudy crystal ball mechanically lowered when you can stand in the middle of Pratt’s campus, drink Champagne and watch Conrad Milster, Pratt’s Chief Engineer, blow his old steam whistles from trains and ships of days long ago? At the stroke of midnight, the pent-up steam is released, gloriously screaming through the old whistles in what can only be described as orgasmic while voyeurs pop corks of their own. For Times Square to come even close, the ball would have to plummet in an earth-shattering… you know what

NOTE: It can get pretty muddy out there, so wear boots and save your stilettos for the after-party.
