What are you doing for New Year’s Day? As we were recently quoted as saying, “when you drink on New Years Day, you drink with the pros.” We think we’re proud of saying that.

There is of course the Mummer’s Parade and with it a boat load of traditions. Will you be at Philadelphia’s oldest bar, McGillin’s Olde Ale House for a pint? Or perhaps at Dirty Frank’s, where men in sequin rule the roost.

A few miles away from the parade route will see the unveiling of Local 44, 20 taps of beer and bottles of Orval will start flowing at 5pm.

NYD brunch is a growing tradition. Check out our incomplete list of brunch spots and other happenings after the jump.

It won’t hurt to commit. We promise. You can indeed decide on a place to go tonight before the ball drops. Perhaps it will be Tria’s business as usual approach that will finally have you picking a place to ring in the New Year.

Or maybe it will be another of the places offered in our New Years Eve Guide.

We’ve again updated our NYE Guide, adding 1601 and Tattooed Mom’s deals to the list. And we’ve also added a new icon to our list, Beer Geek Compatible.

We’ve added some more choices to the guide including what Bar Ferdinand is offering  to James’ foodie menu with lifestyle of the rich and famous add-ons like foie gras, truffles and caviar.

Jewish or otherwise, we’ve had plenty of people asking us for where to go for Christmas Eve dinner. Everyone knows Chinatown is the place to be but we’ve been hearing some resistance to that tradition this year. Our popular suggestion to e-mailers was Zahav but unfortunately it is now booked solid. Luckily OpenTable makes it easy to find restaurants open and available tonight. 

Reservations for December 24th [OpenTable]

We’ve got the goods on the much ballyhooed Cochon and its NYE plans. Also, Distrito has a vegetarian tasting option.

We’re still adding more events to our NYE Guide. Today we’ve added Mi Lah vegetarian for the vegans out there, Pub & Kitchen for the caviar intrigued and Silk City for the money maker shakers.
