Feel like actually eating something!!? Then head down the street to:

Melrose?

• Red O, is offering two different dinners depending on your lifestyle preference. Want to take it easy? Then treat yourself to the early seating which offers 4 courses for $85 dollars with a Mexican Guitar Trio. Feeling kinda crazy? Then it’s $135 for the late seating which will feature a live DJ, five courses, party favors, and a bottle of champagne served at midnight.
• FIG & OLIVE Melrose Place is the place to go if you can afford to spend a little more this year. A festive four-course prix-fixe dinner (6-10 PM) will run you $150 a person but it includes Veuve Clicquot Champagne and Truffles. From 10 p.m. – 2 a.m you can feel like you are in St. Tropez at The Gold and White party
