With many of the holiday celebrations now behind us, it’s time for a much anticipated event – New Year’s Eve. This day is synonymous with popping bubbly and masquerading in glitter-infused attire (for the ladies, at least) at late-nights shenanigans. And while selecting the choice sparkling is high on the NYE list, the focus of this evening is where you celebrate, because you’ll most likely remain there until the early hours of the morning to ring in the new year.
If you’re not among the lucky few to spend the moments of 2011 at New York City Times Square, take solace in the events happening right here in A-town. Whether you’re spending a night sipping brews at Jackie O’s or venturing down Court Street to Casa Nueva for a foodie fiesta, there’s a party fit for everyone.
