Metro-North Bans Alcohol on New Year's Eve and Day

As people pop the champing corks and keep the drinks flowing on New Year's Eve, there is one place where no drinking will be allowed on one of the biggest partying nights of the year.

Metro-North has banned open alcoholic beverages on all of its trains from noon on New Year's Eve to noon on New Year's Day. It's in effort to make holiday travel go smoothly and "orderly."

Metropolitan Transit Authority police will be stationed at Grand Central Terminal, other Metro-North train stations and on trains themselves to ensure no one violates the ban.
