Less than 12 hours after previously checking in on Times Square and not even two hours after midnight, the place was already emptied out, save for some stragglers and a whole crew of folks cleaning up the remains of the evening. Hours and hours of anticipation and buildup and only moments after midnight, the place starts clearing out. Kinda makes you wonder why people bother to show up, right? I mean, I know I do.

Anyway, happy new year to all!
