erriment will again
take hold with the ar-
rival of soon-to-come
1996 ... as expectations
hit their usual heights for
dreams come true.
Restaurants are expecting a
banner year ... Many will keep
the regular menu and prices ...
Others will take best-sellers and
make special New Year's Eve
bills of fare with slight increase
in tariff ... Packages by many
restaurants and hotels, for the
most part, will stay at the same
price as last year or be insignif-
icantly raised.
Just about all will again give
the fun hats, confetti, balloons
and noisemakers.
The usual home parties and
Times Square ball-watching via
television have their places for
folks who don't like going out on
New Year's Eve.
The habitual crazy drivers
will be riding two lanes again, so
protect yourself by staying away
from them ... For that matter,
don't take chances ... give your-
self plenty of distance from all
cars.
And for Pete's sake (and your
own), don't drink and drive ... If
you do want to whoop it up with
extra sauce, let someone else in
your party take the wheel ... or
grab a cab ... You may not think
you had too much, but slower re-
flexes can result in quicker rides
to the hospital.
If you're going to a hotel par-
ty, make plans to stay there ...
It's the safest thing to do.
There'll again be open houses
galore at dining and entertain-
ment spots ... However, it
doesn't guarantee that you'll get
in ... Reservations aren't need-
ed, but call ahead to make sure
there is room for you and your
party ... Places with open hous-
es are also expecting a boom
evening.
Remember...this is New
Year's Eve...Things can get pret-
ty hectic in restaurants... so bear
with the owners and employees
who will try their best to make
certain all enjoy themselves.

... That Michigan gets its due
recognition as a culinary biggie
in the United States ... It has

Institute of America in Hyde
Park, NY) ... and loads of
other excellent executive
chefs.
