Going out on New Year’s Eve is often a letdown. Here come the overpriced drinks, the overcrowded bars and the walking around in the rain. Don’t forget the toils of getting home afterwards. Uber? You’re better off stealing a horse.
If you do venture out, it’s the one night where planning might improve proceedings. To book a venue is to avoid unnecessary drama, the exception to the rule that “organised fun” is not usually conducive to conviviality.
