Check out Rex Hotel's rooftop bar. It's a classic with amazing views, and while not exclusively techno/house, they often have DJs spinning a pretty diverse range of electronic music around New Year's. Worth a look to see if their lineup fits the bill.

That's a great suggestion! I hadn't considered the Rex Hotel rooftop – the views alone would make it special. Do you know if they usually announce their NYE DJs and music genre beforehand? I'm really hoping for a more strictly techno/house focused party, but the Rex could be a good backup plan if nothing else fits the bill.

High-quality printed men's tees

I'm looking for stylish, well-made t-shirts with interesting prints – not cheesy tourist stuff. Any recommendations?

Check out the boutiques around District 1. Lots of independent designers there with unique prints. Avoid the main tourist drags – you'll find better stuff tucked away in smaller alleys. Also, have a look at some of the higher-end department stores; they often carry local brands with stylish, well-made tees.
