Party Rock Is In The House Tonight
Everybody gonna have a good time. Except for me, as I have received my traditional Christmas present – a massive head cold. Yay? Er.
However! There are Festivuses for the Rest of Us’es! In other, actual English words, there are parties to be partied at this New Year’s Eve, and you peeps should whoop it up in style without me. Just take lots of pictures, and say nice things about me, okay? Okay.
Whooping It Up For Less:
Enjoy a romantic dinner at The Melting Pot. For a $125 per couple (not per person) you get a five course fondue dinner, which includes steak and lobster, plus a bottle of Champagne. That’s a good value, especially when you factor in the cost of the Champagne. www.meltingpot.com
If you want an all-inclusive New Year’s Eve package, complete with a hotel room so you don’t have to drive after drinking, check out Kip’s Authentic Irish Pub and Restaurant in St. Louis Park. For $159, you’ll get a room at the Marriot, dinner for two, and two tickets to their New Year’s Eve comedy show, featuring Benny Quash and Michael Thorne. Show tickets alone are $20 a piece, making this package deal very well-priced. www.kipspub.com
Take a New Year’s Eve vacation at Psycho Suzi’s Motor Lounge. For $40, you get 4 tiki drinks or 4 tap beers, an appetizer, a champagne toast, and a commemorative tiki mug. That is a ton of stuff for $40! They’ll also have live entertainment and a photo booth. Suzi’s is a heck of a lot cheaper than flying somewhere this New Year’s Eve. www.psychosuzis.com
If you’d like to celebrate outside, head over to Afton Alps. Their snow tubing runs are open, and for $18 a person, you can tube for 3 hours. On New Year’s Eve, front lifts and snow tubing will be open until midnight. They’ll also have a live band 8:30pm to 12:30am, a torchlight parade 10pm, and then snacks & party favors from 11pm to 12:30am. www.aftonalps.com
Whoop it up anywhere near our area’s Metro Transit – bus OR light rail – without worrying about designated drivers or paying for a cab. Metro Transit and Miller Lite are offering FREE RIDES on any route operated by Metro Transit, Metropolitan Council, or Minnesota Valley Transit. The free rides start at 6 PM on Saturday, and last until the last route for that particular vehicle. Log on to MetroTransit.org for more details.
As the song asks, what are you doing New Year’s Eve?
