Make your holiday reservations now!

If you haven’t already booked your plans for New Year’s Eve, here are three possible options you may want to consider:

Holiday Inn

Just off the highway in bucolic, perpetually snowing Midville, CT, this cozy, converted farmhouse offers ample parking, a full course dinner and funny hats for everyone. The local woods are handy when the only bathroom is in use.

The Dolemite Experience

Located on the wrong side of the tracks, with street parking only (customers are encouraged to not leave any valuables in their cars). The décor includes, basically, a lot of tables crammed up against each other. The popular floor show, featuring the club’s namesake, starts promptly at 10 p.m. (and kicks in at around the 30-second mark of the video).

Max O’Hara’s Golden Safari

No waiting for tables here as there is seating for hundreds on the floor or balcony in this room roughly the size of Rhode Island. Ever the showman, impresario O’Hara’s majestic mid-town club offers a jungle motif that includes lions behind a glass wall, full-size trees and vines. The quality of the entertainment can be erratic from night to night, with much improvisation and audience participation.
