Seven places to ring in 2017 in Chicagoland
Medieval Times
Schaumburg
If you're looking for a festive atmosphere to ring in 2017, Medieval Times is a great place to do so. Take in an early show with the kids or make it a late night celebration for just the two of you. The 9:30 showtime has some added goodies - party favors, music and dancing, admission to the Museum of Torture, hors d'oeuvres, champagne toast and balloon drop in addition to a four-course dinner. Click here for tickets. There are also several shows scheduled on New Year's Day.
LaVoute Bistro and Bar
Homewood
This lovely bistro serving classic French cuisine inside a historic hotel is a lovely setting for a celebration - a perfect way to celebrate by retreating to your room instead of heading out for home in the chilly wee hours of a Chicagoland winter. Purchase tickets for a dinner seating between 4 and 7 p.m. or get tickets for the late bash with an open bar, appetizers, entree and dessert. $75 per person for dinner only and $125 for the New Year's Eve party starting at 9:30 p.m.
Hofbrauhaus
Rosemont
If you're looking for a jolly place to Prost! in the New Year, head to Hofbrauhaus where you can partake in one of two celebrations to welcome the new year. An afternoon bash will help you celebrate at 5 p.m. along with all of Germany as the clock strikes midnight in Deutschland. The party features a parade and lots of swaying and dancing with their amazing band. Then later in the evening, count down with complimentary champagne and a festive fireworks display at MB Financial Park. P.S. MB Financial Park offers free skating right across from Hofbrauhaus through February 26. Skate rental is $8.
Trader Todd's
Chicago (Lakeview)
If you're looking to celebrate even a little early or after the celebrations are over and you're looking for a way to nosh through that hangover, visit Trader Todd's for their Lucky Food Menu running all week. Among the menu items are Black Eyed Peas ($8) served a warm pork broth soup with fresh herbs and jalapeño corn bread - a traditional southern dish consumed on New Year's Day for good luck and prosperity in the new year along with Collard Greens ($4), Trader Todd's Meatball Sandwich ($11) and Soba Noodle Salad ($9.) Also enjoy lucky cocktails made just for the occasion.
On New Year's Even, you can enjoy brunch starting at 10 a.m. and ending at 3 p.m. Then there's a 4-hour happy-hour running from 4 - 8 p.m. with half-price specialty drinks and 25% off food. The New Year's even party kicks off at 8 p.m. with karaoke and free party favors with two complimentary toasts - one at 11 p.m. for Key West and one at midnight for Chicago.
