<em>Saturday Night Fever</em>-ing It into 2012
Your Travolta-esque white disco suit killed on Halloween this year, so it may be time to resurrect it for Jerry Remy’s disco-themed NYE bash. There’ll be two hours of open bar, an appetizer buffet (expect BBQ) and a three-day, two-night trip to Vegas for best costume. You’ve got this.

Last-Minute Hotel-ing
You may also find yourself needing a last-minute hotel room for the night. For that: the Mandarin has a package. You get a room for two, admission to all the First Night Boston festivities, a drink in the lobby lounge and even breakfast the next day at Asana. Call it your fail-safe.

NYE by Way of Miller High Life
Speaking of blowing it out, here’s what Mass Ave Tavern is doing for the New Year: an Average Joe-ish goodbye to 2011 with passed apps (we’re guessing it’s something fried), a midnight champagne toast and even Miller High Life bottle service. It is, after all, the champagne of beers.

A Very French Burlesque New Year’s
Or if live music is more your speed, head to the Beehive’s gala party. We’re talking a full funk and soul band, buffet-style grazing, a bubbly toast and performances from two of NYC’s most celebrated Parisian burlesque dancers. Their names: Calamity Chang and Stormy Weather. We know: so French.

Groundskeeper Willie’s Kind of NYE
And finally, Jamaica Plain Scottish house the Haven is throwing a four-course dinner with Scottish beer pairings and a midnight champagne toast, all capped off with the Scottish tradition of shooting small fireballs into the air at the arrival of 2012. We’re guessing it’ll be outside.
