Rainy, Deserted Times Square To Ring In 2021
Times Square typically sees tens of thousands of people for New Year's Eve, but this year there are no crowded streets packed with spectators because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Normally Times Square would be packed with visitors eagerly awaiting the ball drop, but this year, they'll have to settle for watching it on TV; CBS2's Ali Bauman reports.
New York's Times Square New Year's celebrations will look a little different, but for the 16th year in a row, Ryan Seacrest will be there to help usher in 2021.
