The epic fame and endurance of the (not quite) Southernmost Point
On New Year's Eve, public attention in Key West is focused on the various things that drop at midnight. Sushi the drag queen in a giant ruby slipper. A conch shell at Sloppy Joe's. A "pirate wench" at Schooner Wharf Bar. At Sunset Pier, a giant key lime slice drops into a mock-margarita. At the First Flight restaurant a replica of an old Pan Am plane makes a mock-landing with a flight attendant inside.
