NYC NY: This year, for the first time in decades, Time Square will be closed to the public on New Years Eve. Only production workers and dozens of selected frontline workers and their families will be permitted near the stage. On Wednesday, police officials urged the public to stay home.
It’s fitting that the year from hell should end without a celebration. The coronavirus pandemic — in its final, cruel act of 2020 — has grounded public New Year’s Eve bashes around the globe, including the iconic ball drop at Times Square, which will be closed to revelers this year.
