Do You Have a Signature Dish that You Bring to Food Gatherings?

Where to Dine on New Year’s Eve 2015 & New Year’s Day Brunch 2016
Our readers are already searching our past posts to figure out where to dine on New Year's Eve in Boston. It's time for you to grab a reservation at a special place!

And, since it was popular last year, we're adding a few places we think might be great for starting off 2016 with friends and family around a brunch table.

We all have our ideas of the perfect New Year's Eve.
- Are you looking for a place to ring in 2015 with a happy crowd?
- Will you be out and about dropping in on events or house parties?
- Or will you make a reservation for a quiet dinner before popping a cork for a private celebration?
- Is a walk to view skating on the Frog Pond more your style?
We'll leave the New Year's Eve reservation for those of you who like to be part of a bigger celebration, while we spend the evening with some sparkling wine, good food, and great companions. However, we have gathered resources to help you find a place for any kind of New Year's Eve you'd like.

Everyone can begin at Open Table. They maintain a list of special New Year's Eve celebrations at area restaurants.

You can put a time into the reservation box on the main page and see what's available. Remember, many places have special prix fixe menus for occasions like this and some may require a credit card to hold a reservation.

The site Boston Chefs always posts a listing of its member restaurants that have special plans for New Year's Eve. Here is their New Year's Eve list. And, here's the list for New Year's Day. We'll update this section as we spot new information from these sources.

We'll add updates with other lists, as they become available, from trusted sources around town. Please remember that when we provide a link to a list, we are just giving you a resource. It doesn't mean we are recommending the restaurants on that list. These summaries often include places we love, but since other publishers have different standards, their list may include restaurants we would never recommend.

We Do Recommend!

There are restaurants that have planned a special New Year's Eve menu but have built their reputations on high quality food. These are places where you can expect to have a wonderful meal any day of the year.
- Select Oyster Bar will serve a 7-course tasting menu. There are still a few seats left for a 6pm and 9pm seating.
- Island Creek Oyster Bar is serving its regular menu and that kindness puts them high on our list.
- Row 34 will serve their regular menu with a special addition: "Caviar and Champagne are the name of the game this New Year's Eve. Ossetra caviar and NV Krug Grand Cuvee are available for enjoying at cost …"
- Bistro du Midi is offering two seatings at two prices with two prix fixe menus.
- Craigie on Main will present a five course tasting menu.
- Grotto on Beacon Hill, Kitchen in the South End, and Marliave downtown all join that list of places sticking with the food you love.
- La Morra in Brookline will serve a three-course prix fixe menu with a glass of Prosecco!
- Myers + Chang will add special items to their regular menu and serve it all Dim Sum style.
Update: 12/17/15 - From Eater Boston here's a list and map of Where to Eat on New Year's Eve in Boston.

Where are you spending the evening? What's your favorite way to celebrate? Come back on January 1st and tell us about your New Year's Eve.

New Year's Day Brunch

Here is a list of brunches from the members of Boston Chefs. Our pick from this list would be Meritage at the Boston Harbor Hotel.

Open Table did not have a New Year's Day Brunch list when we prepared this post. We put a request in for a table at 11:30 AM to come up with our recommendations.
- Craigie on Main decided to do away with their regular Sunday brunch, but they will have brunch on a few selected holidays like New Year's Day.
- Petit Robert Bistro would be a great place to enjoy the beginning of a new year with a gang.
- Eastern Standard will be open with their great brunch menu.
- La Voile on Newbury serves a lovely meal and is a great way to start the year.

Open the Hatches: Our Storm Adventure in Provincetown

We recently returned from a nice, long vacation in Provincetown. We had a bit of an adventure on September 29th when we weathered a storm in a house and deck surrounded on three sides by water.

We were renting the condominium apartment you see here sitting on a seawall with a deck on pilings. This photo was taken at low tide.

At high tide, the area next to the house fills with water. This is wonderful for sleeping to the sound of lapping waves …

… but it's not ideal when a major storm is brewing. One of the staff members came by to warn us that our deck would not be available during the storm because he would have to open the hatches.

Here's the view of the open deck from the condo at low tide.

Slowly the water rose.

A few hours later the waves were breaking through the open hatches. We believe this is done to protect the seawall. It really seemed to work well and it was fun to watch as the water rose. Since we were told they have been doing this for 30 years, we figured it must be a great system.

Here's the area along the seawall during the storm.

This bay window on the other side of the building took a direct hit from a big wave and the large deck on this side was well decorated with seaweed.

Fortunately, the wind changed direction and calmed substantially before high tide. The sun breaking through was a very welcome sight.
