Where do you want to be on New Year’s Eve?



The New Year may not live up to the high expectations we are placing on it with the wild parties slated for the weekend. But, hey, maybe that is precisely why all you midnight children need to hit the dance floor. Here is the exhaustive (we were exhausted preparing it) list of places to go. If you aren't the partying type, there are tasty dinner deals and if you are a true party hopper, with the finances to back up your claim, we suggest you mix and match according to your preferences.

Night in Gokarna
Kajra Nite at Le Meridian
An exclusive party organised by the Le Meridian on 31 December. This theme party is based on the streets of Mumbai and will even have young boys trying to hustle the guests into buying knick-knacks. The party will include free food being cooked before your eyes, though the drinks will have to be purchased at the cash bar. There will be a dance troupe performing and later Dj Raju will be taking over in typical Indian fashion by playing only Hindi remixes.
