Happy New Year to all of our lovely neighbors!

If you are staying in town, check out [our list](/heres-will-opened-closed-new-years-day/) of all that will be open and closed today and tomorrow.

If you don’t have NYE plans yet, we highly recommend [Coney Island’s first-ever New Year’s Extravaganza](http://www.timeout.com/newyork/blog/coney-island-to-host-new-years-eve-party-with-parachute-jump-ball-drop-and-fireworks?ref=bklyner.com), which will include a ball drop, live music, a fire-breathing side show, fireworks, and more. If you are the more adventurous type, join the [Polar Bear Club](http://www.polarbearclub.org/?ref=bklyner.com) at 1pm tomorrow at Coney Island as they take their annual New Year’s Day plunge into the frigid ocean.
