Which city celebrates New Year's Eve with the Waterford Crystal Times Square Ball?
Answer
New York City
The Waterford Crystal Times Square Ball is used for New Year's Eve in New York City.
The current ball is a geodesic sphere covered with Waterford Crystal panels and illuminated LEDs. Waterford Crystal began contributing designs to the ball in 2000, while Philips Lighting supplied the LED technology for the updated version introduced for the 2007 celebration.
The ball descends from One Times Square shortly before midnight on December 31. At midnight, it reaches the bottom of its pole as the new year begins. The ceremony is part of a public celebration that also includes musical performances and the release of confetti.
The answer is New York City rather than Times Square, because the question asks for the city. Times Square is the specific Manhattan location, and One Times Square is the building used for the drop. The ball's design and dimensions have changed over time.
