2008 Times Square New Year’s Eve New York's chilly temperatures couldn't stop the hundreds of thousand onlookers who gathered in Times Square for the 2009 New Year's Eve Celebration as Mayor Bloomberg, with help from both President and Secretary of State Clinton. This year, a newly-designed ball (approximately twice the size of its predecessors) illuminated Times Square with a variety of colors and patterns as it counted down the seconds. The ball will remain above Times Square for the remainder of the year for tourists and visitors to view. Download full size image |

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2008 Since 1924, New York has annually celebrated the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The parade traditionally begins on New York City's Upper West Side and concludes in front of Macy's Herald Square. On the Eve of the parade, families come to enjoy the float assembly area to catch a glimpse of the inflation of their favorite balloon characters such as, "Kermit the Frog", "Snoopy", "Shrek" and the "Smurfs." A major coordination effort, several City agencies prepare for the event by performing parade route inspections; removing parade obstructions such as street lights, flagpoles, and debris; arranging barricades, stages and bleacher placement; organizing security and emergency plans; and ensuring that all proper permits/approvals are obtained.

Green Screens NYC & Company assisted in the execution of a five-borough electronics recycling weekend, known as “Green Screens,” was held last November in honor of “America Recycles Day.” This event allowed the public to recycle unwanted electronics such as computers, televisions and other electronics at no cost. The transition to digital television (February 17, 2009) has already raised the number of televisions purchased throughout the five boroughs. Recycling these types of electronics is an easy way for New Yorkers to improve the environment, as this event facilitated the recycling of an estimated total of 359,000 pounds of e-waste.
