Eat your way into 2024 and make a globe-trotting smorgasbord of traditional NYE eats. To start snack on Dutch oliebollen, something like a raisin-stuffed Timbit. For a main, a plate of cotechino con lenticchie, sausage and lentils, is believed to bring health and wealth in Italy. And, for a post-midnight snack, slurp a bowl of tteokguk, a Korean rice cake soup eaten on the first day of the new year.
Read about what the future holds and gather some expert opinions on what will happen in 2024. Platformer gives us 14 tech world predictions (like Donald Trump returning to X), InStyle shows us what’s newly fashionable (apparently something called ‘punk rococo’), and an Ipsos poll tells us the real peoples’ perspective (good news, optimism is on the rise).
Listen to a year of Free Lunch by The Peak. We released over 50 eps of our interview podcast in 2023. That’s a lot of content! We can’t blame you if you missed it here and there. So, if you’re looking for a quiet night in this NYE, why not catch up with our humble pod? Some of our fave topics we covered this year include AI threats, immigration, and transit.
Watch the clock strike midnight and tune into an NYE broadcast. If you’re a traditionalist and need to see the ball drop in Times Square, then “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” on ABC is the only option. If you want to go more local — or more international – then newyearsevelive.net has an exhaustive collection of region-specific live streams.
