What are you doing New Years Eve

Written by Glen Hughes on December 29th, 2008 3 Comments

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah or satisfying Solstice.  Now its time to put those horrible sweaters away for another year and focus on putting 2008 to rest.

There are only two days left to make plans for how you want to bring in the new year.  Even though Salem might not have any balls to drop on the masses we do have plenty going on.  Here are our top picks for spending your New Years Eve in Salem MA.

Gulu-Gulu Cafe

Gulu-Gulu Cafe

Gulu Gulu Cafe – Bell bottoms are back at the Disco Ball.  One of our favorite local DJ’s Radio Scotvoid along with Noel Snow will be spinning all your favorite funk, disco and soul from the 1970’s.  Dress to impress with 70’s best.  Your $10 cover gets you in the door, some fine food-stuffs and a champagne toast at midnight.  Great fun on a limited budget.

Sixty2 on Wharf - Prefer a bit more refined New Years Eve?  Head over to Sixty2 where the jazz sounds of Qwill with Zach Fields on Drums and Anthony Sabol on Bass will be featured along with some killer food, great specials and a free champagne toast.

Rockafellas – Sitting smack in the middle of the price range between our two previous listing is Rockafellas. Offering a limited menu and the always fun Lisa Love Experience, tickets at door for the bar area are $25. A better deal is their dinner package with includes dinner at tables, entertainment, champagne toast and party favors for $65 per person. Rockafellas is kicking it off at 8pm.

Hawthorne Hotel Dinner – Some people love going to a hotel for New Years Eve, it’s a fun and safe plan.  The Hawthorne is pimping our their elegant four-course, $75.00 prefixed dinner.  Live Jazz music (no dancing) in both Nathaniel’s and Sophia’s (their two restaurants).

Not in the mood to go out to a bar, restaurant or hotel to celebrate?  Tomorrow we will be giving you the keys to hosting a successful New Years Eve party at home.  Complete with an insider’s guide to buying  champagne in Salem.

    That’s a bummer about Noel, I’d love to jump in and help (I’ve DJ’d for 10 years and am the King of Disco) but I have to run the Salem Insider New Years Bash.

    Good luck!
