If you live outside of the city, you might want to consider finding a hotel room for the night. It will make the journey "home" so much easier.
The best places to stay for the majority of these parties is in Union Square. This is where most of the 21+ parties are this year. Click here for my recommendations for Union Square.
Hotel Deals: Before you book, I also recommend checking out the hotel deals on TripAdvisor.com. If you book early, you might get lucky and find a room at a fraction of the cost. You might also get free WiFi or parking for the night. Click here to check out the current deals on TripAdvisor.com.

Extended Public Transit Hours for NYE 2022/2023
Most public transit systems in and around SF offer extended hours on New Year's Eve. SF Muni offers additional routes until early in the morning. They also offer free rides from 8 pm to 5 am.
BART also stays open late. They run until around 3am, which gives you some additional time to get home.
