Wild and Wacky New Year’s Eve Celebrations

Locations in this article:  San Diego, CA

This is one of the best alternative New Year’s Eve events in the country. In Key West, Florida, thousands gather every year at the Bourbon Street Pub complex on Duval Street where a drag queen named “Sushi” (a guy named Gary Marion) is lowered from the second floor balcony in a giant red stiletto.
