ニューヨーク・タイムズのインスタグラム(nytimes) - 1月1日 10時44分

In millions of households on #NewYearsEve, all eyes are on #NewYork City where hundreds of thousands gather to watch a bejeweled, illuminated ball make its slow descent to mark the new year. People have been making their way to Midtown #Manhattan for the midnight revel in #TimesSquare since 1904, when the owner of this newspaper, Adolph Ochs, organized a celebration to commemorate the opening of the paper’s new headquarters in Times Square.
Wishing, like watching the ball drop, is that rare thing in this city: an activity that is absolutely free. Desires range from the personal to the universal. In Times Square in 1942, as WWII raged, a young man wished for “all the money in the world,” while a young woman wished “that the war will be over soon.” But the magic isn’t in the ball exactly, said @nytbooks digital staff writer Concepción de León. “It’s in how all those gathered in Times Square and all those watching at home are united, for just one minute, in a flurry of hope and good wishes that rises like confetti, and then is dispersed.” In this photo from World Wide Photos, revelers in Times Square are ringing in 1938.
