[MAIL] At midnight the ball dropped in Times Square and kicked off the fireworks and celebrations across the country.Fireworks lit up the sky across the East Coast in Miami up to Boston - Key West, Florida had a 'Red Shoe' drop to ring in the new year.
One million people were expected to watch the ball drop in Time's Square in person and another billion were anticipated to watch on TV.
At least one pro-Palestine group was spotted marching from 59th Street all the way down to 45th and 5th Avenue, just a block away from where the ball dropped at midnight.
The marchers were singing the infamous 'from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free' chant that has been decried as anti-Semitic by members of both parties in Congress, as well as the Anti-Defamation League.
