Party in Roswell this New Year's Eve

When it comes to having a good time on New Year's Eve you don't have to travel far - there are plenty of places to ring in the New Year right here in Roswell!

From Aqua Blue on the east side of town, to Pasti's in the historic district, there is no lack of places to spend the last evening of 2010 or the wee hours of 2011, however you want to view it. Go with a group or make new friends, it's up to you. Here are a few of the options we've found to do around town:

- - Start off your evening with some melted cheese, or chocolate, if you prefer. The Melting Pot on Mansell Road will have a prix fixe menu, which includes filet mignon and Maine lobster tail for $75 per person. Enjoy selected wine pairings with each course for $99 per person.

- - This sleek restaurant/bar on Holcomb Bridge Road exudes class. Aqua Blue is offering a three-course menu for $49 per person; add wine pairings to each course and the price goes up to $69. At 9 p.m. a DJ will entertain diners and a complimentary champagne toast will take place at midnight. But best of all perhaps? The breakfast buffet opens at 12:30 a.m. Limited reservations in three seating shifts will be taken (5:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.) For reservations, call 770-643-8886.
