Yes, it's that over-hyped, over-exaggerated, over-emotional time of year again: New Year's Eve. We understand that you're hesitant to commit to anything just yet — and you're probably waiting for your friend with a pool to invite you over — but if that doesn't work out, there's plenty to do in this little ol' city of ours. Whether you want to dance the night away, eat heaps of gooey cheese, or just eat some damn fine food with booze and epic Brisbane River views you can do just that.
