What are you doing New Year’s Eve?

For most people, the evening of December 31 is all about the moment when it changes to January 1, with all the attendant noise, fireworks, Champagne toasts and kisses. Others like to spend the evening with a celebratory meal, perhaps being quietly reflective about the year ending and hopefully anticipatory about what’s to come.

There’s no reason you can’t do both. For the former, just find any street corner where people are gathered and who have the mathematical wherewithal to count backwards from 10.

But for the latter, consider having dinner at one of the area restaurants that will be offering special menus for the evening. Look over the list here. You’ll find options that offer fine and fancy and a little raucousness, too.

Happy New Year!
