You’re only as good as your last weekend.
Lobster guacamole. Yes, you’re washing it down with six bottles of beer from an epic beer library. Plus, you’ll be capturing post-holiday magic with a fully loaded Polaroid. Also: we’ve got your necessary supply of nutrient-enhanced beverages for half off, and for... morning recovery purposes.
You go where the porchetta goes. And on Saturday, that’ll be inside the Cannibal’s carnivorous confines. Resto’s butchering little brother is holding its version of a New Year’s Eve party. Which ostensibly means pâtés, thin-sliced pig parts and—at the stroke of midnight—a massive 9-liter beer pour. Degree of difficulty: 8.7.
Might as well end 2011 the same way you started it: surrounded by a pile of pork carnitas and a cauldron of queso fundido. So you’ll book the six-person pig confit at Hecho en Dumbo, and then chase it with an open-bar burlesque party at the Salón. Naturally.
And now, for your requisite tuxedo option—Hôtel Americano is hosting a black-and-white masquerade ball to ring in 2012. You’ll break out your most formal face mask, and they’ll supply you with four courses’ worth of dinner and a bottle’s worth of champagne. Perfect for your multipart toasts.
Never underestimate the importance of ending on a high note. So for the culmination of 2011, we’re thinking you should throw on your finest formal wear and head all the way up to the top of the Standard. Blondie will be there playing a concert. And providing musical accompaniment for your grand entrance into 2012.
We get that you want to sleep in on Sunday. We also understand that when you eventually wake up, there’s a good to great chance you’ll want to start drinking again. Here to meet your needs: Osteria Morini. They’re doing brunch till 9pm and a two-for-one drink special. Apparently, 2012 is peaking early.
