Raasthe With Ruchi | New Year’s Eve Special

Now that we have unwrapped those Christmas presents it’s time for us to firm up our celebration plans for New Year’s Eve 2010. If you are looking to dress up in your best evening gowns and chic cocktail dresses do consider Hotel Icon’s New Year’s Eve party. Hotel ICON presents a special collection of packages at an affordable budget bundled with delights at their newly renovated hotel. ‘Voice’ the restaurant at Hotel Icon also promises a delicious dining experience along with a party to be remembered. At the restaurant I would recommend all party lovers to try the spiced Pear Cold Cider, knob creek bourbon, apple juice, spiced pear puree, candied ginger, the curried carrot, butternut squash gelle, housemade bacon, popcorn shoots, and coconut foam. For dessert I tried the Warm Compressed Spiced Figs dehydrated chocolate mousse, goat cheese ice cream, and morello cherry, or choose something exotic like for the Dark Chocolate Souffle avocado truffle and blood orange Chantilly.

For those who really want to get a spa experience, Hotel ZaZa has been the ultimate party lovers hangout alongside Hotel ZaZa’s ZaSpa package. Their parties are also very popular to be sophisticated and stylish. Hotel Derek, Westin Galleria, JW Marriot and Hyatt Hotel in Downtown Houston are amongst some of the other popular lobby party ideas.

Amongst the lounges Red Room, Hudson Lounge and 13 Celsius are some of my favorites. However if you are all about the fireworks for new year’s there is no better place to ring in the New Year than CITYCENTRE on December 31 with an array of happenings slated by its many acclaimed restaurants and lounges. Beginning at 8:30 pm the excitement builds in the plaza with an exciting, interactive music and lighting set from DJ Kevin Friddell, capped off as the clock strikes 12 with a fantastic fireworks show.

For all those Bollywood fans, dress up the night, as Belvedere will host Bollywood Beats NYE 2011 Edition with Houston’s one and only female DJ Samia who is planning to rock you into the new year ‘desi’ style.
