This will be my husband and my first new year in Raleigh and we wondered if anyone had suggestions of things to do. We really do not have a preference as to whether we go to dinner or a bar or a party. Just not sure of the options around here. Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks.
Raleigh First Night is the big celebration in the area. Its a family-friendly alcohol free event. http://www.firstnightraleigh.com/home.html Tift Merrit will be performing out there, so if I was in town that's where I'd be headed since I love her music.
And although First Night is alchohol free, it is a great night to hit that early and then walk over to a bar downtown and close out the night....or barhop through First Night. Say, have a drink at Riviera, hit first night for a while, then hop over to Big Easy, etc.
