New Years Celebration

Tweet

Hubby and I rang in the New Year at a Turkish restaurant. The food was done banquet style. There were fried liver cubes, cheese cigars, different kebabs with rice, shrimp, fried calamari, a variety of fried fish with mixed greens salad, a few other salads, and a platter of dips (hummus, baba ganoush, eggplant, etc.). There was also a plate of fruit and a plate with dessert (not sure what it was), along with tea and coffee. Food was delicious and it only cost $95/person. They did not serve alcohol but we were allowed to bring our own free of charge. There was a Russian-speaking duo (man and woman) who sang. It was mostly Russian music. The guy also played on the guitar. At one point he took a shot glass and used that to play the guitar. Very cool. There was empty space next to the stage so we were able to dance. A TV near us showed Times Square and we were able to see the ball drop. We’ve never done this before. It was a very good evening. We came to the restaurant around 9pm and left after 2am.
