Best Places To Watch New Year's Eve Fireworks In San Francisco

Ring in 2012 with 200,000 fellow bundled-up San Franciscans for a waterfront fireworks tradition as the city is once again hosting a free waterfront midnight fireworks show on New Year's Eve, December 31, 2011.

According to FuncheapSF, the best viewing location to see fireworks is south of Sinbad's Restaurant - along the Embarcadero between Mission and Folsom Street. Standing in front of the Ferry Building may not be a good place to view the fireworks.

Below are a couple of the best places to view fireworks in San Francisco on New Year's Eve.

For more suggestions for things to do at the stroke of midnight, visit FuncheapSF or CBS Local Events.
