New Year's Eve parties in Toronto will help you usher in 2017 in style but what if you don't want to go somewhere too far from home. Avoid all the cab and Uber drama, and find something close to you to ring in 2017.
Here are my picks for the top New Year's parties in Toronto by neighbourhood.
Events you might want to check out:Last New Years with The Central (December 31 - January 1 @ The Central)
