I typically don’t love New Years Eve, unless I have pretty fantastic plans, which this year I do. As always Cleveland has a variety of things going on at pretty good prices, depending on what you are looking for. Here are just a few of my selections:

Wonder Bar on East 4th. This is where I’ll be ringing in 2012 with a couple of my favorite people. For $150 you get dinner, premium seating for the band and drinks all night. There are also cheaper packages available. I’m already excited for a night of champagne!

Reddstone. Drink packages are available starting at $40. You can dance, eat and be merry as you ring in 2012 at one of my favorite Cleveland locations.

West Park Station. I’ve typically rang in the New Year in West Park or Lakewood and WPS never fails. Great music, dancing. Be warned – it does become difficult to get parking!

Around the Corner. My go-to bar. ATC is offering bottle service, VIP packages and a whole lot of fun. You can never go wrong with Lakewood, in my humble opinion.

Greenhouse Tavern. By far one of my favorite Cleveland restaurants, Greenhouse is ringing in 2012 with an epic – and I mean epic – meal. 9 courses of fabulous food at a fabulous location. Cheers!

No matter where you go – remember to have a DD or call a cab! There will be plenty out so there’s no excuse! Be safe and see you in 2012!
