heart of Art Deco and dining at one of seven international
restaurants. Boutique shops and art galleries will be open for shopping

As the new year approaches, New York City gets ready for its annual
Times Square celebration. The famous ball drop atop One Times Square
has been a tradition dating back to 1906.

Celebrations on this night typically include going to parties or
gathering in public places. One of the most famous gatherings occurs
at Times Square in New York City. At 11:59:00 p.m., a six-foot
shimmering ball (actually an apple) is lowered 70 feet in sixty
seconds. When the apple reaches it destination at midnight, bells
ring, confetti is tossed, and everyone shouts "Happy New Year!" This
tradition began in 1907 after New York City outlawed firecrackers
for New Year's Eve. The lowering of the ball is followed by the
singing of Auld Lang Syne and drinking a toast to the new year.

Words adapated from a traditional song by Rabbie Burns (1759-96)
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne? CHORUS: For
auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll take a cup of
kindness yet, For auld lang syne!
