The Wilmington Star News, our local gazette, has compiled some lists of places to enjoy your New Year’s eve. 

JJ Knight, their “Budget Bites” reporter suggests Seawitch, and The Bridge Tender in her column.  Seawitch, at Carolina Beach, has music by local band Machine Gun along with a complimentary drink at midnight.  They also feature a dinner special for two.  The Bridge Tender is offering a special menu.  Across the water, Bluewater has its regular menu and the Manny Lloyd Band playing soul and funk tunes.  They too have a midnight champagne toast.  Circa 1922, in downtown Wilmington, is offering a special fixed menu for New Years.  Get all the details in JJ’s column here.

Mike Voorhees, a writer who may have enjoyed a New Year’s eve or two, writes up a few of the evenings festivities.  You can find his picks here.
