New Year's Eve Happenings: Party like it's almost 2011
By Ramie Becker, Special to the Los Angeles Times
December 24, 2010
The year 2011 seems an odd one, no doubt, what with the approaching end of the Mayan Calendar, a longish recession and a slow-building recovery. Evidently, though, nothing makes for a good party like a hint of trouble, because party-planning Angelenos are stoking the fires for full-steam New Year's Eve wildness. Yes, the massive street parties of recent New Year's Eves are gone, but in their wake come dozens of more focused and pressure-cooked parties for all tastes, from well-curated indie rock shows to big DJ parties where you can dance yourself to exhaustion, from highbrow mansion parties to tiki-torch feasts. It's looking like 2011 is getting a better-than-average kickoff in L.A., so don't sleep!
Don the Beachcomber's Waitiki NYE
If tiki torches, pupu platters and tropical dance tunes sound like the perfect way to welcome 2011, then Don the Beachcomber's Waitiki festival is just the ticket. The famous Hawaii-themed restaurant will be wrapping up a three-day music festival on New Year's Eve, featuring the contemporary-yet-retro sounds of the Waitiki 7. Dinner packages include buffet, Champagne toast, party favors and (depending on how many clams you're willing to shell out) front-row seating for the show. Don the Beachcomber, 6278 Pacific Coast Highway, Huntington Beach. Doors at 7 p.m., show at 8 p.m. $40-$125. (562) 592-1321; http://www.donthebeachcomber.com. 12/24/10 >> go there
