To each their own. I like Zoolights because it’s fun to walk around in the cold, drink some warm alcoholic beverage, and socialize with the people with whom I attend. Also, it’s free.

I’ve always found going out on New Year’s Eve a subpar experience, but I get why other folks enjoy it. I think a lot of bridge and tunnel folk get scammed with the big NYE parties downtown, though, which sucks.
