Final Pick of the Week for 2010!!!

It is the final week of 2010 and I am trying to make my way out of a NYC snow storm back to what I hope is sunny Venice Beach.

What shall be the Pick of the Week?…..Well let’s talk about New Year’s Eve.  See below, this first one, “Wokano’s Black and White Ball,” is my pick. Not too expensive, somewhere hip on the Westside where you can meet up with your buds….there’s still time to get a deal if you order now.  

The second is a local favorite, the famous “Hal’s Restaurant.”  I have wonderful memories of one very romantic New Year’s Eve at Hal’s. It is a great way to welcome the New Year! If you live in Venice, it is always nice to stay close. Make sure to call for reservations now.

The third and final choice is a bit pricey, but heck, it is New Year’s Eve….this would be the time to splurge.  The Viceroy is quite the mesmerizing hotel.

Whichever you choose, see below for more details and have a wonderful, safe New Year’s!
