This is my first time in the USA and so I want to see the American culture of celebrating New Years Day! (I am student here, so will be in Pittsburgh for another year and half) It can be the happenings within Pitts city or places nearby more like one- to two-day trips.
I am looking for to experience the celebrations in person! (I don't own a vehicle so places reachable with an overnight journey will be fine)

Hi and welcome to Travel.SE. Please have a look at the faq - as currently your question is rather broad and at risk of being closed for this reason. What stuff do you want to see? Are you after experiences, trips, shopping, monuments, sporting occasions? How far afield from Pittsburgh would you be willing to travel? How long do you have there? If you could edit and update your question, we'll hopefully get some USA experts with some good useful advice :) – Mark Mayo Dec 20 '12 at 21:25
@MarkMayo 6 hours by car gets you to NYC, 5 to Phila, 4 to Washington DC, etc. While I wouldn't recommend doing there and back in 1 day it can and has been done in 2 days. – Karlson Dec 20 '12 at 21:49
Unfortunately the biggest festival of lights was suspended this year (budget issues). Pittsburgh has First Night on new year's eve. Philly, DC, Baltimore, and Columbus are all within 4-5 hours, with NYC being a bit farther. What do you want to see/experience? – Monica Cellio Dec 20 '12 at 21:57
OK, closing for now. If you do edit it with more information as per the questions above, please do flag it for reopening, and we'll happily take a look! :) – Mark Mayo Dec 21 '12 at 5:59

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.
