No? OK, that’s just me, then. In reality, the New Year’s Eve celebration can take many forms. Here are 12 ways to celebrate locally at your own speed.

The New Year’s Eve Gala features a deejay, live band, dinner buffet, party favors, a late-night hoagie station, two levels of entertainment, four drink tickets, a late-night hoagie station, and a midnight champagne toast and balloon drop. Did we mention the late-night hoagie station?
