The weekend is all about big finishes.
As you might know, New Year’s Eve is tomorrow, and you don’t want to go in unprepared. So practice tonight with $5 bourbon, half-price appetizers and some sweaty house music... exactly what you left for Santa last week.
Since you’re pretty agnostic when it comes to your bubbly, keep this beer-and-burger party on your list for midnight mayhem. There’s an open bar, and they’ll be debuting breakfast burgers after midnight. You like to get a jump on the first brunch of the year.
If you must be covered in something French tonight, bring your finest cuffs to this champagne-soaked James Bond–themed New Year’s bash. Okay, the formal attire is optional, but semiformal is mandatory. Arriving with Ursula Andress in a bikini is acceptable for the former.
The first day of 2011 and you’re already facing tough choices. First: there’s the whole “Two-Thousand-Eleven” or “Twenty-Eleven” thing. Then, the bottomless Bloody Mary or bottomless mimosa debacle. Finally, Polish sausage or duck confit as your morning-after relief. Choose wisely—your year depends on it.
New Year’s Eve was fun, but really just a prelude for what a whole nation has been anxiously awaiting: National Bloody Mary Day. This velvety den will have an endless supply for you, as well as fried bananas, breakfast tacos and cheddar biscuits—the traditional Bloody Mary Day feast.
