The New Year’s Eve celebration in New York City’s Times Square is moving forward this year, albeit on a slightly smaller scale. Mayor-Elect Eric Adams will be taking the oath of office shortly after midnight, as revelers watch the ball drop amid a 15-percent COVID-19 positivity rate in the city. For those wisely avoiding the crowd in Times Square this year, there are still various ways to watch the party from home.
