New England New Year's Eve celebrations

Despite the troubled economy, limited ethical decision-making in government, the number of jobless, homeless and budget cuts, there seems to be a giant effort this year to ring in a better New Year across New England. More First Nights than ever are taking place. Visit each celebration's website to find out the details about costs, parking, and event locations. Here is a roundup of the diverse selection, from our New England events guru, Kim Sherman.
