New Year's Eve is Wednesday, and you probably have the night planned—from what you'll wear to where you'll party to who you hope to kiss. But if you have a pair of stilettos lined up for the big evening, think again. Perhaps you're new to this rodeo or you refuse to learn your lesson, but every year —after the confetti toss and champagne spray— the streets of San Francisco clog up with cars in a veritable carmageddon. Help out your future self and wear flats (or low, chunky heels) for the night. Then you can skip the driving or the surge pricing and walk around town. Just remember to bundle up, it's expected to be a cold one. · Where to Buy Boots in San Francisco [Racked SF]
