Places to celebrate New Year's Eve

Claudia A. Guerrero

If you have just enough energy to ring in the new year but aren't sure where to go, here are five options for a good time with family or friends.

The culinary team at Verdanza Hotel is exceptional. Having won awards for their dishes, there's no doubt this celebration will be full of good food. Enjoy a menu with Puerto Rican flavors, including guineitos en escabeche, pernil al horno, pasteles, morcilla, and the midnight asopao you can't do without. And the best part: open bar! For tickets, call 787-200-7110.

If you're looking for something different, ring in the new year at Marriott Stellaris Hotel & Casino, which will offer a seafood and Caribbean food buffet with lobster and sancocho stations. Enjoy a different kind of dinner with live music. For reservations, call 787-722-7000 or email lourdinez.pollock@marriotthotels.com.

Everyone knows that La Concha's party is the most iconic of the season, and this year is no exception. A DJ lineup will play until 4 a.m. in the pool area and Lobby Bar, so dress comfortably because at La Concha you dance until dawn.

If you're in the south of the Island, Copamarina on the Guánica coast will offer a memorable experience in every sense. In addition to the return of the 10-piece band La Banda Hipnosis, the evening buffet will be built around a tour of the streets of Manhattan. Food inspired by neighborhoods such as Little Paris, East Harlem and Chinatown are among those you'll be able to taste.

For reservation details, call 787-821-0505.

The real cultural party will be at ALoft + Hard Rock in Ponce! Have a great time with open bar, whole-roasted lechón, pleneros, orchestras, cabezudos, a light show, fireworks and a guest artist. Enjoy several stages and indoor and outdoor experiences. You can buy your ticket by calling 787-861-7080.
