New Year’s Eve is an end of a cycle, the beginning of a new one. A time for continuation, reflection, planning, and more frequently partying. This is the night where both the good and bad let the hedonist inside them creep out even further for an evening of celebration, rejoice, drinking, eating, drinking, some more drinking, perhaps a quick trip to the ski slopes, and on and on with a sprinkling of eye-candy ranging from fireworks to eye-catching ball drops.
But whatever you choose, a night of relinquishment to your daily agreements in favor of exhilarating vices, or a night of quiet thanks on the year that has passed, we have you covered with a complete guide to New Year’s Eve events. So jump to the section of your pleasure, learn where all the fun is for you this New Year’s and start planning your schedule. Before I forget let me wish you a Happy Holidays and may your 2013 year be even better than the your years past.

2. Coldplay and Jay-Z NYE Event

- Location: Brooklyn, NY

- Date: 12/31/2012
- Time: 9:00pm

I saw Jay-Z during his opening run at the Barclays Center and his performance was stellar. Mix in one of rock music’s greatest bands and the excitement of the coming New Year and I’d say the result is going to be a once in a lifetime event. Coldplay will be going on a long touring hiatus after this and Jay-Z will be in his home Borough, so you know they’ll be bringing there best. If I was still living in the BK you’d find me Big Pimpin up in NYC at the Barclays Center on New Years.
