Relocating to Houston, or any new city, can be more difficult during the season of celebrations. Still, there’s no reason to sit home on New Year’s Eve if you don’t want to, even if you’re new in town. Houston is a vibrant city, full of nearly every kind of culture imaginable. Whether you’d like to ring in 2011 with a high class hotel’s New Year’s Eve bash, a great concert, a techno rave or an evening of fine dining, Houston has the party for you. Here are some online resources to help you find your kind of fun for New Year’s Eve:
B4-U-Eat restaurant guide
We told you about this uber-informative site in our post on fun things to do in Houston for Christmas. B4-U-Eat’s coverage for New Year’s 2011 is even more helpful, including complete menus—most with prices—for many of the fine Houston restaurants that are offering special dinner events for New Year’s Eve. If one of the menus looks good to you, check out Yelp! to see reviews from your fellow Houston residents.
The Houston Press
Your new local newspaper, the Houston Press, has an excellent online calendar listing events for many tastes. Their listing of Houston events for New Year’s Eve includes everything from classic theater to rock and blues concerts, from family-friendly spectacles to hip and sexy club events. Some highlights include Glowrama New Year’s Eve, a family-friendly festival of lights that starts at 7 p.m. at the George R. Brown Convention Center; New Year’s Eve at the House of Blues, just the kind of concert and party you’d expect from House of Blues; the BLT (Black Tie, Lingerie, and Toga) Party at Lucky’s Pub, sponsored by local radio greats 94.5 The Buzz, SportsMonkey, and The Rod Ryan Show; and Free Press Houston’s New Year’s Eve Cataclysm, a concert event celebrating Houston’s best local bands.
NewYearsEve.com
This web site offers listings for New Year’s Eve bashes nationwide. Find Houston events in their city-specific listing here. Unlike the all-encompassing Houston Press listing, NewYearsEve.com focuses on the hip, the rockin’, the sexy: nightclubs, bars, and hotel balls.
