Throngs To Pack Times Square For New Year's Eve
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The confetti and ball drop have been tested and security is in place as Times Square counts down to 2019.
Tonight's New Year's Eve celebration in the crossroads of the world is one of the biggest parties in the world, reports CBS2's Natalie Duddridge.
"This is the absolute place to be for New Year's Eve," said Brandon Cline of Atlanta. "There's no experience like this."
"I can't wait," said Jill Cline. "What we've seen so far is just really spectacular."
The Clines are preparing to experience the magic for the very first time. Their niece and her husband have been to Times Square three times before.
"We got in a pen it was crazy," said Megan Guerra of Tampa, Fla. "We stood out until midnight… 15 hours. No bathrooms, no eating, but it was the time of our lives. It's magic."
