I used to always go out on New Years Eve with my friends back when I was young. That would be to a classy bar with a new years band and party were you needed reservations. Then later after being married used to go out with friends and have dinner on new years eve at a local resturant. Can't remember but we probably have reservations then too. But as I got older I just didn't want to go out on New Years Eve as I worried too much about people on the road driving drunk.
