Where to Celebrate 2017

By VITA Daily

The ball is about to drop. Which for some, means a night on the couch with a food hang-over of the best-worst kind. For others, it means a night out on the town. We’re talking New Year’s Eve and thankfully, there’s no shortage of events for the enjoying. —Aurea Dempsey
