On the first day of 2008, Cecile and I walked around Times Square. While we missed the drop of the ball last night, we still felt part of the celebration in the comfort of Olwen's home in Jackson Heights.
Today is a holiday, no Broadway show. Some stores were closed. Planet Hollywood was open. McDonald's was full of tourists, mostly from Europe. Some Japanese and Koreans. A few Filipino families. But all admired the larger than life advertising billboards and lights before the sunset presents a show of its own around Times Square. And the kids and not so young at heart like me would never be disappointed going around Toys R Us!
