If you are anything like we are, your plans thus far for having something to do on New Year’s Eve go a little like this: Sit around.

Well, DCist has come up with some NYE happenings that are fun, easy and sure to save you from a night of couchdom. Click onwards for our picks, and please leave your own plans and ideas in the comments.
