More New Year’s Eve photos on my flickr page

One of the many benefits of living just south of downtown is not having to bother driving to New Year’s Eve festivities. Sarah and I enjoyed a brisk walk, going down various side streets to see what was happening. We were able to get a table at Agave to enjoy dinner and margaritas before doing some more aimless walking.

Constitution Plaza was lit up. When we were there some people were videotaping their evening.

At midnight we finished up dessert (and more tequila, because we don’t get out enough) at City Steam Brewery, where the d.j. and place came alive during the countdown. Our New England sensibility was a point of pride as we passed numerous females on the street who decided that wearing gowns and open-toed heels was appropriate for freezing weather.

On the walk home we were greeted by a number of pleasant strangers wishing us a happy new year.
