Book a sofa in the lounge for $25 a person on New Year's Eve, Photo by G. Widman for GPTMC

Positano Coast, that wonderful Italian restaurant in Old City, is whipping up a little something special this New Year’s Eve, inviting guests to welcome 2010 in style.

Starting at 10:30pm, guests can enjoy a no-cover party, complete with DJ, party favors, and a complimentary champagne toast at midnight. If you’d like to relax in Positano’s cozy lounge area, guests can reserve couches for the cover of $25 a person.

Folks with reserved seats in the lounge get a complimentary cocktail, as well as access to the party and free champagne. I recommend the Lemon Drop, Positano’s signature cocktail. It is delicious.

There’s even a special limited a la carte menu, created specially for this night. Selections include:

- Grilled Mahi & Shrimp
- Pan Roasted 16 oz. Prime NY Strip
- Mushroom & Asparagus Risotto
- Zucchini Flatbread
- Grilled Octopus
- Wild Boar Ragu
- Braised Berkshire Pork Shoulder
- Pan-Seared Branzino

Can’t make the festivities on New Year’s Eve, but still want to visit? Positano Coast will be open for dinner on New Year’s Day at 4pm.
