New Year's Eve Wining & Dining! /
In less than a week, we’ll be closing out 2011 and ringing in the new year with a bang! For some, this is one of the most exciting times of the year… next to Christmas. Stepping out for New Year's Eve has become a MUST over the last recent years. If you’re not traveling to New York to watch the ball drop, it’s more than necessary that you bring in the new year partying it up or dining down. Last year, my closest friends and I dined at a lavish steak house, enjoyed each other’s company over spilled champagne, h'orderves, racks of lamb and fireworks from the dock. We had such an amazing time! I definitely suggest dining on New Year’s Eve. Many restaurants offer special menus, champagne toasts, party favors, dancing, entertainment and much more.
