Hi everyone. Is there anything that the city puts on near the Washington Monument or around there new years eve? I was wondering if they had a mini ball drop or something on a big screen. Anyone?

Thanks!

Quite frankly D.C. isn't the best New Year's town. You would think they would have some sort of local ball drop downtown like other cities but nothing that I'm aware of. First night can be fun and there are the usual assortment of overpriced restaurant/bar/hotel/club events. There's also New Year's Eve boat tours on the Potomac which are pretty but expensive as well. Here's a link that might help...
