I've done it 3 times.... Once was the only time I ever planned on going, a couple times I just wound up there somehow.
If you get there early so that you are near the ABC and MTV Studios you'll get some good views. Especially now that the MTV HD screen is there. The only caveat is that you cannot leave to go to the bathroom.
I don't know if you can bring bags this year, but definitely no bottles. They usually hand out plastic cups to pour your beer into.
Bring what you bring. You cannot leave, if you do you're done and will be sent back to the back of the groups which sometimes have extended close to 57th street.
One time I timed crossing the street from a subway station (49th N/R) to cross right when the ball hit which then they open up all the pens of people. That took a little planning but we did that because they were trying to make us go all the way back to 57th street.
