From 5:00 to 12:00 countdown, this time is the open-air New Year's Eve party in Times Square, all the people in the singer's performance and driven by the body, dancing, let yourself enjoy the carnival!

This is the entrance to Toys R Us in Times Square, and the signage reads: GAMES MAKE GREAT GIFTS! GIFT means PRESENT GIFTS. On the right is CLUE, which means "clue", and MONOPOLY, which means exclusive. Confusing, isn't it? It doesn't matter, go in and spend money on toys to know!

In New York City subway stations, the only people who can touch the money are the formal servicemen who sit in the closed counters, and based on security concerns, they generally don't come out and talk to passengers, and they do so through microphones and headphones. So the New York subway company has launched this new passenger assistant service, passenger assistant body does not carry money and do not charge, you can walk around the station, to assist passengers encountered a variety of problems.
