What did you do for New Years? Some of us stayed in and watched movies, waiting for the usual TV shows with countdowns, others partied hard.

But for the lucky people in Manhattan, not only were they heavily protected (Time Square had the most military and police in the history of New Years in America), they got the show of their lives with amazing performances. What an awesome way to ring in the New Year! This New Year’s eve in Time Square was put on by Toshiba Corporation.
