New Year's Eve celebrations across US include 4 'food drops'

Nearly everyone is familiar with the "ball drop" in Times Square in Manhattan each year on New Year's Eve — the event draws thousands of people to New York City, while millions more across the country watch the spectacle on TV channels and streaming platforms.

But plenty of other, smaller yet no less festive celebrations are taking place with giant versions of foods "dropped" to help ring in and celebrate the New Year — including potatoes in Idaho, tacos in Tucson, Arizona, and cheese in various cities in Wisconsin.
