Witness: Your New Year’s Eve Party Plans

Long ago, it was decided that we should all say goodbye to the previous year by drinking champagne and kissing people at midnight. This should help you decide where that’s happening this year. Thank you and have a wonderful afternoon.

ST. CECILIA

In 2014’s Last Hours, You Eat Duck Leg

You require: A dinner with the potential to trump your last 364 dinners.
You’ll receive: Five courses of things like Jonah crab, braised duck leg and ricotta cheesecake. And if you stick around until midnight, balloons will drop on your head. Which might be weirder if it were any other Wednesday.

THE PAINTED PIN

This Is Different. You Like Different.

You require: Endless things to do. And Moscow Mule slushies, of course.
You’ll receive: Bowling shoes. You’ll need those for bowling while listening to a funk band, eating wood-fired pizzas and drinking champagne during the midnight toast. Presumably before and after it, too.

200 PEACHTREE

Expect Brigitte Bardot Types Here

You require: Dancing in a historic Macy’s building that’s been done up like a Parisian mansion. Specific, but okay.
You’ll receive: Champagne, aerialists, burlesque dancers, mimes, snake charmers and a casino room with cabaret performances at the second Bungalow Ball. Same location as last year, new theme. It’s an agreeable theme.

VENTANAS

The One with the View of the Fireworks

You require: A five-hour open bar. A DJ. Perhaps a prime view of some fireworks. You’re not asking a lot here.
You’ll receive: A rooftop attached to a giant glass cube in a venue where the name means “windows” in Spanish. And “Ooh. Ahh. Fireworks” in English.

THE FOX THEATRE

The Fox Is More Egyptian Than Usual

You require: “A bunch of sexy Cleopatras, Egyptian queens and pharaohs running around the Fox.” You said it, not us.
You’ll receive: A laser and light show displaying random hieroglyphics and things, DJs, a countdown projected on a wall... and yes, those other things you said. Especially those.
