Again, the cunundrum - what to do on New Year's Eve? For me and mine, our first impetus was to go out to a great dinner - someplace like L'Espalier or T.W. Food. My next thought, was, "Damn that is expensive!" Moreso then regular! Why is it that NYE has become accepted as a time when we should spend so much for dinner, or a club, or a champagne toast? It would seem the goodly American consumer derserves a break after the Xmas shopping spree, but no - we endure to ring in the new year.
When I was 21ish, I loved NYE - another reason to get drunk! Now, as I age, I care about it less. Although I still love a reason to pop the bubbly, NYE has moved to the bottom of the list on my Favorit Holiday list - right above Arbor Day. What has moved up you ask? Halloween, it rules. So I say, the new National Party Day is Halloween, and as such we should get Nov 1 off as a national day of recovery and costume-putting-away.
