A Somewhat Young China Hand on the Local Drinking Scene

Back to Beijing: New Year’s Eve

Last New Year’s Eve, I marked midnight with a glass of bubbly and a final smoke at Q Bar, the best stop of about a dozen that evening. This year, I’ll be fresh off a fourteen-hour flight and likely hopped up from mowing down the kilo of Licorice Allsorts my Mom gave me for Christmas. That makes me think of doing something a bit different to bring in 2011, perhaps sauntering over to Shuangjing or going off to Gulou or nipping into Nanluoguxiang and then spending some quality time in Sanlitun. We’ll see…

In any case, I wish a happy New Year’s Eve to all those who read this blog. Have fun, be safe, and if you haven’t decided what to do, check out these lists by The Beijinger and City Weekend. And if you plan to go the Yen Party in 798, the ever-thoughtful JG reminds me to remind you to get there early so you aren’t one of those people who shows up half an hour before midnight and ends up stuck in that massive  line during the countdown (two words: ankle flask).
