Former New York Knicks player John Starks (right) cheers to the new year with a guest at the New Year’s Eve festivities at The Knickerbocker Hotel, located at the edge of Times Square. Rumored to be the birthplace of the Martini, this was The Knickerbocker’s first New Year’s celebration in 95 years after Prohibition caused the close of the hotel in 1921. The property reopened in February 2015 after completing a spectacular $250 million dollar redevelopment.
