Jonathan has some advice for the more than 2 million people who are going to converge on Times Square on December 31st this year on how to keep warm. He says if you think you are dressed warm enough, you are not and layers are necessary. Coverage begins around 5pm ET in Times Square and you can watch on TimesSquareNYC.org.
You might recognize the Wollman Rink in Central Park from its appearances in famous movies like Serendipity and Home Alone 2. And it's also a spot where New Yorkers and visitors flock for some time out on the ice. Andrew Perry, director of operations of Wollman Rink NYC, spoke with Cheddar News about the rink's history, its operations and what to expect when visiting.
The contract agreement reached Wednesday must still be approved by the union's board and its members, but the leadership said actors will be allowed to return to work starting Thursday.
