    Behind the Scenes in Times Square for the New Year’s Eve Ball Drop

    San Francisco Bay Times contributor Fernando Camino, creator of the YouTube channel SuperFriends NYC, regularly livestreams from midtown Manhattan and beyond. Wearing his warm rainbow-colored scarf, Camino donned the required hard hat and safety vest for the behind the scenes visit to the top of the One Times Square Building on December 27, 2023, for an up close view of the famous New Year’s Eve Ball.

    Following the outdoor elevator ride to the top, he joined with press representatives for an in-person interview with Paul Anka.  The legendary singer/songwriter was preparing for his upcoming live performance on New Year’s Eve of the Anka-penned song that Frank Sinatra made famous, “My Way.”

    The experience provided skyscraper level views of the streets of sites Camino tours each Saturday night, featuring the Times Square Midnight Moment, which begins at 8 pm Pacific/11 pm Eastern. It is the world’s largest and longest running digital art exhibition.
