New Orleans

A fleur-de-lis, the symbol of New Orleans, descends from a 25-foot pole at the top of the Jax Brewery Condominiums at midnight. Catch the best views across the street from Jackson Square, where there’s live music all night. In past years, a New Year’s baby (wearing a Saints helmet, of course) dropped at midnight.
