The Voice-Tribune's New Year's Eve Soirée
Louisville Marriott
280 W. Jefferson St.
9 p.m.
Accent aigu denotes class. So even though the Voice-Tribune is promoting its event as "everyone's favorite time of year to let loose," you'll still probably want to wear pants. At least until midnight and the balls drop. Tickets are $125 and available online or by calling 502-897-8900.

Two hot workday afternoons downtown. Two ice cream runs at lunch. One in a car and one by foot. They couldn’t be more different, but they both make me happy in the way only a frozen confection on a summer day can.
