New Years Eve Food

New Years Eve tends to be slightly over-hyped and overpriced, depending on the choice of activity an the venue.  Some restaurants do a prix-fixe menu with few options and lots of dollars.  Some bars charge you $130 for an open bar but getting to the bar is as difficult as trudging through the sidewalks on Avenue A in this snowy weather.

Last year, I went to a house party.  This year, I should be in California, assuming a plane gets me there.  But I know that a lot of you will be in NYC and are still searching for plans.

Agozar is offering several great options, for both drinking and eating.  Agozar is an excellent Cuban restaurant in the East Village area.  It is much more a restaurant than a bar, so I think their open bar offerings may be better than a typical club or lounge. There are options between $40-$100.

If you are looking for just dinner, the best place to start is OpenTable. That will give you an idea of what restaurants have availability.

Bread and Hummus at Tre

For example, Tre has reservations open.  They are offering a $55 prix-fixe menu that looks pretty delicious, and $55 is not too bad.  Check it out here: http://www.trenewyork.com/events.html

Does anyone know of any bar events that are worth checking out?  Put it in the comments and I will tweet the event!

Good luck with your New Years Plans!

Have a delicious day!
