With so many options, New Year's Eve can be one of the most difficult holidays to plan. From fancy Soirees to all-night massives with Diplo and Kreayshawn, there is a party for any impulse in our New Year's Eve Guide. If you don't want to wait for Saturday, Chuckie and John Beaver are holding down the dance floor at Vessel and the Stay Gold End of the Year Bash says goodbye to 2011 at Public Works. The Donuts party celebrates its fifth anniversary and the Sea Of Dreams Pre-Party gets it going with Addison Groove, Sepalcure and Mux Mool. And for those who just can't get enough, Breakfast in Bed brings the after party to Supperclub during the early morning hours of New Year's Day. Happy New Year!
