Free cabs!

There's no way to argue with this: This weekend (like past holiday weekends) the mayor, State Highway Administration, AAA, and Yellow Cab Co. are providing free taxi rides, up to $50, for those 21 and older who choose to drink this holiday weekend. The service—aptly called Tipsy? Taxi!—is available from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. tonight, Saturday, and Sunday. Just call 1-877-963-TAXI.

The service has proved successful in the past, though there are usually significant waits for a cab ride (especially towards the later hours). The best bet is to call early and be patient. So whether you're going to anoutdoor festival, a local show, or taking in the beautiful fireworks, you'll be able to do it safely (and cheaply!) this holiday weekend.
