NYE is in two days, and it’s time to start planning your exit strategy. In ancient cultures a dinner reservation on December 31st was a sign of a good year to come (…pushing it…), so read below and grab a seat– there are only a few days left to decide where to wash away 2016 (with champagne, of course) and celebrate the New Year!
