"After the pandemic, after everyone losing loved ones, it's just, it's been a, it's been a rough, it was rough, you know, pandemic. We just want you know, we just want a happy 2023. We want all our families to be with us and celebrating life."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Marquese Drake, New York resident:
"You can wish for a lot, but it's important to slow down and be grateful for what you got right now in order to move to the next level. You know, so take your time. You might want the Benz, but be cool with a Honda for a while. So I would say patience, patience will get you where you want to be."

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Arjun Singh, celebrating NYE in Times Square:
"Resurgence of the world after COVID-19, after the war in Ukraine. We want it to end and we want things to get back to normal again. Resurgence of the economy after inflation, we want it to go away. We want a resurgence in the new year just as.... as a growth over the last year. A growth over next year is what we want and that's what we hope we'll get."

STORYLINE:
Crowds in New York City were preparing to bring in the New Year with a dazzling Saturday night spectacle in iconic Times Square, anchoring celebrations across the United States.
The night culminates with a countdown as a glowing geodesic sphere 12 feet (3.6 meters) in diameter and weighing almost six tons descends from its lofty perch atop One Times Square.
Its surface is comprised of nearly 2,700 Waterford crystals that will be illuminated, officials said, by a palette of more than 16 million colors.
At the stroke of midnight, a ton of confetti was expected to rain down on soggy revelers, glittering amid the jumbo screens, neon and pulsing lights.
Last year, a scaled-back crowd of about 15,000 in-person mask-wearing spectators watched the ball descend while basking in the lights and hoopla of the U.S.' marquee New Year’s Eve event.
Because of pandemic rules, it was far fewer than the tens of thousands of revelers who usually descended on the world-famous square before the pandemic.
