CNN: NYE Returns to Times Square at Full Capacity, Preps Underway

EXCERPT:

WALKER: “Well, it’s the place to be on new year’s eve for some people. Times Square in Manhattan. Celebrations return to full capacity tonight for the first time since 2020, free of any Covid restrictions like masking and distancing this year, but the NYPD will be out in full force, of course, with extra security.”

SAVIDGE: “That’s because hundreds of thousands are expected to welcome the new year and new beginnings for 2023. The famous ball-drop, a tradition that goes back to 1907, and the city is busy prepping for the huge crowds that are anticipated.”
