Dragging your spangly heels and not yet made plans for NYE? How about raising a glass over a tasty dinner that you haven’t had to cook and that’s close enough to home that you can walk back afterwards?
Here’s just a handful of the food and drink events that’ll be going on around Greenpoint as we roll towards the beckoning future of twenty fifteen:
Glasserie has a special prix-fixe NYE menu for $80. It features treats like carpaccio of lamb, charcoaled ribeye, and labneh parfait (full menu here),  and includes a champagne toast and special performance at midnight.

Feeling the need for frugality after already lavish holidays? A bottle of fizz from Dandelion Wine and a hunk of gooey cheese from Greenpoint Cheese and Meat would also be a pretty nice way to bid farewell to 2014. Then you can wake up on January 1st feeling relatively underspent and fresh-headed enough to greet the new year properly. And wouldn’t that be nice…
