Even Times Square in New York City has announced it will not be open to the public, however performances, celebrations and the infamous ball drop will be virtual.
As people around the country are fighting for their lives, this new year is for spending time with the ones you love. Here are some ideas:

1. Grab some sweets and take to the snow. Several local bakeries are offering takeaway, mouth-watering treats. Wake up early New Years Eve or Day and watch the sunrise while enjoying handmade treats. Crazy Good Bakery, Sugar Pine Bakery, TV Donuts Glazed and Confused have your sweets covered. For something more savory the new Tahoe Bagel Co, DragonFly Bagel Co and Crazy Good Bakery offer early morning artisan bagels for takeout.
