Post Cruise New Year's Eve in Fort Lauderdale

[goneclear]

We will be in FLL for New Year's Eve and staying at the GalleryOne. Looking for something to do. Does the water Taxi operate on New Year's Eve? Is there any thing going on at las olas blvd?  Ideas and suggestions appreciated. Never experienced New Year's Eve there so not sure what will be open or not. Also will it be easy to get taxis on New Year's Eve night? Thanks

Las Olas will be packed!  Lots of stuff to do and see the holiday lights.

 

Yes, take the water taxi NYE day and then use it for transportation to Las Olas that evening.

 

Make reservations and dine alfresco at one of the fantastic restaurants on Las Olas.

If you want to stay in your neighborhood, plenty of things going on A1A  and the beach.  You are withing walking distance to most stuff on the beach.

 

Just a heads up, Uber will definitely be surging.
