PHOTOS BY Q. SAKAMAKI | This New Year’s in Times Square took on special meaning for recently arrived migrants, who are still settling into America and New York City.

Amid the thousands of revelers who packed the Crossroads of the World to usher in 2024 were migrants celebrating in front of their nearby shelter hotel, a 10-year-old asylum seeker crooning tunes for bucks and a young mother suckling her baby while vending.
These photos were all taken just after the ball drop at Times Square at midnight.
