New Year's Eve in Ottawa

So, what are you going to be doing for New Year's Eve in Ottawa this year? Are you going to a house party or do you prefer to get dressed up and go out dancing? We have decided to get together with friends at their place again this year. This will actually be the fourth year in a row that we opt for a house celebration over a bar/club celebration. We spent many years going to bars, taking taxis downtown in the snow or freezing cold, waiting in line etc. At the time we had a blast and enjoyed the evening but now, as we have gotten older, we much prefer to go to someone's house party instead.

For those of you who want to go out, here are a few suggestions:
1. Some of the Ottawa Restaurants are offering great meal & drink packages. Some have hired DJs or live bands to entertain you.
2. If you are looking to go out to one of the Ottawa bars or clubs then there are plenty to choose from. Maybe you want to start off at one of the restaurants and head over to a bar or club to dance the night away and ring in the New Year.
3. If you want to have a good laugh then check out one of the Ottawa Comedy Clubs.

Whatever you decide to do, make sure to plan ahead. Find a designated driver, call a taxi, call "Operation Red Nose", book a hotel room, have someone pick you up - just please do not drink and drive. We want you to have a great night and to arrive home safely.

Happy New Year to everyone. We hope that 2006 is a great year for all of you!

Cheers!
