I’m thinking of trying to get a bunch of friends (maybe 40) together to have a party somewhere for NYE. I’m thinking a private room, someplace fun, not too stuffy, good tails and food. Thoughts? Suggestions?

), Emily’s Lebanese Delicatessen, Nye's Polonaise (famous for its piano bar, not for the food).

No nice dinner to be had on NYE with kids, in my opinion. If you can, the best option is to eat in your apartment or hotel rooms. It’s a grown up night, with expensive bad food everywhere and mandatory joy.

Anyone have any suggestions on where to spend NYE in the Palm Desert area? I like Sullivans but they dont have room until late in the evening. Any type of food works...as long as it’s good. Hoping for a place we can dress...

Omigod! You MUST stop in at Nye's Polonaise - go to the piano bar and sing-a-long!! http://nyespolonaise.com/ The food is o.k., I had the prime rib dinner and the waitresses hung out with me (it was almost closing...) I love it!

I’m thinking about a nice pre-NYE dinner at Coup des Tartes. In the past, the food has been excellent. Anybody been there recently? Is it still a solid bet?
