The arrival of pieces of the “2019” sign that will top One Times Square along with the iconic ball have kicked of preparation for New York City’s big New Year’s Eve celebration. Before they are placed high above Times Square, the “1” and “9” numerals will be on street level, right by the TKTS stand, for people to take photographs with!
