What Are You Doing New Year's Eve? Dining Out Options Part 2

For those who would like to ring in 2010 with a night on the town, several local restaurants are offering special menus and packages for New Year's Eve. For nights out like this, reservations are required, so planning ahead is a must. Remember, most of these packages won't include drinks, parking, or gratuities, so cushion your budgets accordingly!
