  • The Pandemic Has Changed New Year's
    Out with the old, in with the few: The pandemic has changed New Year’s Eve Pedestrians walk in a nearly empty Times Square ahead of the New Year's Eve celebration on Thursday. (Frank Franklin II/AP) By Ben Guarino, Marisa Iati, Samantha Schmidt and Kim Bellware Dec. 31, 2020 at 5:53 CST NEW YORK — When the iconic Times Square Ball drops in Manhattan come midnight, it will descend before an unusually small live audience. Most of the confetti will fall to the ground, landing on the shoulders of just a few hundred partygoers rather than the 1 million who typically pack the streets for the new year. When the clock strikes 12, no one is likely to kiss a stranger. For 2021 in New York and around the United States, it’s out with the old, in with the few. At the intersection of 44th Street and Seventh Avenue in Manhattan, a few hundred feet from where the ball would drop, a small crowd gathered in the early afternoon. Normally, it would be difficult to get so close. Georgienne Millen, 65, a New York City tour guide, stopped by to snap a few photos. She hadn’t done the New Year’s Eve Times Square experience — partying amid the massive throng — since she was 16. “It was crazy,” she said. “I was never kissed by so many people in my whole life.” Now, the words escaped her. Millen’s older brother had recently tested positive for the coronavirus but was asymptomatic so far. “This whole year has messed with my vocabulary,” she said.
