Weekly Staff Picks: Bringin' in the New Year

Party in Style!

Porta Vista Hotel is celebrating New Year’s Eve by rewinding time with a retro-themed extravaganza. The hotel’s Glass Door Restaurant is offering a special 5-course meal for $79 per person before 6:30 p.m., which also includes entrance into the swanky rooftop party with views of fireworks on the bay. Or skip the dinner and head straight to the Ripassi Terazzo before 9 p.m. to get in for free. Pull on some go-go boots and your favorite polyester shirt to enter in the groovy threads contest. Private cabanas are available for rent, as well as special deals on rooms.
1835 Columbia St., 619-379-1248

Maloney’s Tavern:

If downtown is your scene, but crowds are your foe opt for a table at Maloney’s Tavern; the price includes a bottle of champagne. Splitting the cost among six to eight friends will make for an affordable and memorable New Year’s Eve. An added bonus is not having to battle the bar crowds, with plenty of waitresses to take your food and drink orders.
777 Fifth Ave., 619-232-6000

Times Square West:

The Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine is bringing Times Square to San Diego, complete with live entertainment, a midnight countdown and ball drop from the Hyatt Aventine tower. You just may forget what city you’re in.
3777 La Jolla Village Dr., 858-552-1234

W Hotel:

Ten deejays, five levels and a three-course meal—not a bad way to start off 2010. The W Hotel San Diego is pulling out all the stops to celebrate the New Year in style with a delectable dinner followed by a lavish party.
421 West B St., 619-398-3100
