The Wildly Mild New Year’s Eve Dinner is a low key, but exciting and fun option for folks just looking for a dinner out on the town. Known for their special events, Albert’s New Year’s Dinner is $70 per person, and features a culinary adventure curated and prepared by Executive Chef Chris Mirguet and Chef Charles Bouka. Plus, it’s in the world famous San Diego Zoo! Who knows what you’ll end up seeing. Seating begins at 5 PM.

San Diego’s famous Gaslamp Quarter is completely walkable, and chock full of options sure to appeal to everybody in the group. With a huge variety of clubs, restaurants, bars and hotels, the Gaslamp is the place to be for New Year’s Eve, and the best part is the huge variety that enables the night to progress from low key dinner to an epic bash.

Several hotels have huge events going on, including the W, the Brisol and the Hard Rock, with raging parties featuring live DJs, bands and several ballrooms full of partiers. With built-in accommodations in case of a missing designated driver, and with hotel spas to make any hangover easier to handle on New Year’s Day, dancing the night away at a hotel party is an easy choice.

Fireworks are always a hit, and if you have some juniors in tow head to Legoland. Legoland’s show begins well before bedtime, and it’s a great way to please the whole family and get the kids good and tired so the adults can ring in 2014 with a quiet glass of bubbly. Legoland has a whole day full of performances to celebrate New Year’s Eve, and even has a ball drop ceremony and countdown to fireworks at “midnight” at 6:00pm.

For a glamorous evening, the San Diego Bay has a few midnight cruises on New Year’s Eve, complete with dinner, dancing and fireworks. The California Spirit Yacht is among the list of options, offering an open bar, celebrity DJs, and delectable food. Hornblower has a few different cruise packages to choose from for both New Year’s Eve, and a brunch option for New Year’s Day.
