If you could spend NYE anywhere in the world, where would you go?
I can't speak from experience, but I've heard the place to be on New Year's Eve is Jost Van Dyke Island, in the British Virgin Islands. I mean to do that one of these years. See More
Newark (New Jersey): What are the best things to do, see, experience, and eat in Newark?
Newark, NJ has a great museum, a great concert venue, a big time pro franchise, a great park, and awesome Portuguese barbecue. There has to be more. What are the best things to do, see, experience, eat in NJ's biggest city? See More
