Guest Blogger: Megan O'Neil - A great bartender and a few killer drinks made for one hell of a New Year's Eve in New York City. Sip Bar at 998 Amsterdam in Manhattan certainly paved the way for a memorable first night in 2008.
Both of us thirty-something women, my friend and I decided on Christmas Eve that one more boring New Year's Eve at home was going to make us crazy. On that whim we decided to book a couple of hostel beds in the Upper West Side of Manhattan and headed to New York City for New Years.
