Despite being a born and bred NY’er, I have never gone to Times Square to celebrate New Years. It’s too crowded and too full of tourists for me. Sorry. But I do watch the ball drop on Times Square every year. This year marks the 100 year anniversary of the tradition and to mark the occasion the ball is being lit more than 9,500 energy-efficient LED lights using only as much electricity as 10 toasters.
The weather is set to be lovely tonight. So if you are braver than me, head to Times Square. Me? I’ll be with my familia, drinking coquito.
Feliz 2008!
