Zaujímavosti: Every year on New Year's Eve, over a million people cram into the streets to watch a 12-foot-diameter crystal ball drop, a tradition that started in 1907 and has featured more than 32,000 crystals made by Waterford. The area is also known for its massive LED billboards that use over 400,000 watts of electricity, lighting up the night sky and creating a dazzling, constantly changing urban rainbow.
