Celebrating New Year’s Eve in Times Square is a tourist trap, of course, but thePosthas reported on how big that trap has actually grown:Olive Garden’s buffet dinner costs $400 per head (and offers only a “limited view” of the ball drop), and its neighbors are charging even more money — $799 atBubba Gump Shrimp, $499 atthe Counter, $999 atBuca di Beppo, and $349 to a whopping $1,699 atRuby Tuesday.Yikes. Here are a fewalternative parties— and remember that many restaurants are business as usual, come Thursday.
