SXMCPL, We have only been to Key West one time, much less than you. It wasn't NYE. We are looking forward to next trip to Key West. Loved Sloppy Joes, their band, big stage, etc. I would think on NYE, Sloppy Joes would be a great place to be. It will be interesting to hear what you think after you spend NYE in Key West. Also, seeing your username, we will be in St. Martin 12/6-12/16. Can't wait.
