New Year's Eve Countdown: Celebrate at Local Restaurants

O'Mara's Restaurant and Amici's Pizza & Living Room in Berkley, as well as Sweet Lorraine's in Southfield, plan holiday treats including live music, a special menu and a champagne toast.

It's almost time for a new year, so why not make plans to gather with your friends, family and neighbors? Dinner is one of the many ways to celebrate that we're counting down all week.

Today's pick:

  • Where:
  • Hours: Dinner seatings are 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and 9 p.m. until the party stops!
  • Why go: Even Exchange will be kicking out the jams starting at 9 p.m. and ringing in 2012. A 9 p.m. seating reservation includes dancing to Even Exchange, party favors and a champagne toast at midnight. Check out the full menu here.
  • Reservations: For reservations, sign up here or call (248) 399-6750.

Or, check out Sweet Lorraine's just across Greenfield Road in Southfield for a holiday meal. The restaurant will be offering its regular menu, as well as a special New Year's Eve dinner menu. Reservations can be made for parties of two to eight people by calling (248) 559-5985. Sweet Lorraine's will be open from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m. Dec. 31.
