NYE DC for all the Early Bird Emilys out there

cloturegirl November 14, 2009 0

Cloture Girl, I am thinking about coming back to DC for New Years, but not being from here I was wondering what’s considered fun? Thanks, Early Bird Emily.

Dear Early Bird Emily,

Good question and thank you for reminding me to get on the plan-making. There will be things going on all around the city. In fact, you can assume that pretty much every venue will have something going on. Here are some ticketed concerts and open bar events that I have gotten word of. While my personal preferences are closer towards the top, remember that the best holiday is the one you spend with your friends. So enjoy! Since we have a ways to go before NYE, I will update this list as I hear of more things.
