Ringing in the New Year in Richmond, Virginia

It’s that time of year again.  We’re making our resolutions, we’re getting are party shoes polished, and we’re slowing building up our tolerance for alcohol and late nights.   If you don’t want to have all of your friends over to your house to drink all your booze, eat all your food, and likely sleep on your couch, floor, or front porch, check out these goings-on in our fair city and you might very well have the time of your life.

The picture above is from the Carytown New Year’s Eve celebration.  This year, there is no Carytown New Year’s Eve celebration.  This picture is the closest you’ll get to that this year, or any other year in the near future.    The Carytown Merchant’s Association cannot handle the cost.  Not in a down market, not when revelers asked to pay $2 upon arrival don’t.  Also, the city has developed more red tape than ever and the association just can’t handle it.

Just because there won’t be the grand Carytown celebration doesn’t mean that you can’t celebrate in Carytown.  New York Deli is having a bash that should be worth attending, with a champagne toast, music, and lots of yummy food.

If you’re looking to shake a leg, spend a mere $20 for a ticked to the End of the Decade New Year’s Eve Dance Party at Artspace Gallery (Plant Zero).  Fantastic Richmond band No BS Brass Band will be playing (I just love those guys), and there will be a cash bar and snacks.  Eat before you go, because the snacks are never enough and that McDonald’s right there is awful.

The Canal Club’s 10th anniversary party is New Year’s Eve, and the B.A. Flyers are playing.  $10 gets you apps and a champagne toast at midnight.
