Near the harbor theres ruths chris steakhouse cheesecake factory, hooters, ESPN Zone, fogo de chao, phillips ESPN zone, sooo many more For clubs theres Power Plant which is a coldasack of clubs with different themes its allot of fun.
I have never been there on new years eve but from what I hear, it is a pretty good place to be. One of my friends went two years ago and spent the night in the ESPN zone which is a pretty awesome place. You could also check out the hard rock cafe or even a night cruise in the bay. Have fun!
