The actual "new moon" is a moment, a point in time; it doesn't really have a duration. But for practical purposes, there is one day on which the Moon is generally not visible at all, and this is the day of the new moon. One day later, you will be able to see a thin crescent Moon - the one that some people call "Diana's Bow" - very low in the evening sky next to the setting Sun.

Most people aren't up and out in the hour before sunrise, but if you were to look up to the east just as dawn was breaking the day BEFORE the new moon, you would be able to see the crescent moon then, as well.
