When it comes to the best takeout New Year’s Eve parties in the East Bay, Spicy Hideaway is definitely the place to go.
“We handle all parts of your cocktail party,” owner Noel Crist told Berkeleyside of Spicy Hideaway’s Chinatown location, which is closed for the holidays.
A “proper New Year’s Eve,” Crist said, “is when we take you out to a fun dinner at a nice neighborhood restaurant.”
Perfect for the first few hours of 2019, Spicy Hideaway serves a light, yet reasonably priced first course such as braised short ribs that’s seasoned with fresh, wild mushrooms.
The second course is a traditional Chinese New Year’s offering called scallion soup with red pepper vinaigrette served over steamed rice.
Pro tip: Spicy Hideaway’s takeout takeout party is not only fast — it’s heavily recommended because of the 20 cocktails Crist mentions before the crew settles down to a fitting meal. If you’re truly looking to impress a friend with your revelry, Crist said that his takeout-only restaurant has a couple of hot takeout spots that are always hopping — Jello Man, 112th Street and Bathulia, for example, that do a couple of two-hour pizzas on New Year’s Eve.
More of an extravaganza for the partygoing doyenne in the East Bay, Spicy Hideaway’s New Year’s Eve event is happening Friday, Dec. 28. And like anything else, there are some logistical and financial issues to consider. To be fair, Crist insisted, his New Year’s Eve event is “uncomfortable.”
“The only thing you can do is come in early and we will take over,” he said. “We will take over the drinks, appetizers, new gala table and a big party room.”
Spicy Hideaway has a real mission of celebrating Chinese New Year: “We are here to honor, thank and cherish our first year,” Crist said. “Hopefully in 2018 we’ll have another fruitful year.”
Did you know? Here are five places to score a bargain or save some money at authentic Chinese New Year’s party or other New Year’s celebration.
The $6 million Breeders Crown, harness racing's richest and most prestigious year-end divisional championship series, returns in 2018 to The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Pocono staged all 12 'Crown' events in 2013, and saw victories posted by eventual Dan Patch Horse of The Year Bee A Magician, Pacer of the Year Captaintreacherous and the richest Standardbred in North American history, Foi...led Again.
The historic five-eighth mile track, nestled in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains, celebrated its 50th Anniversary in 2015 and was the first track to host all 12 Breeders Crown races in one night on their inaugural hosting in 2010.
'The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono has been a wonderful host track partner and we are delighted to see them back in Breeders Crown rotation,' said Tom Charters, president of the Hambletonian Society which owns and administrates the Breeders Crown series.
Total handle on Breeders Crown elimination programs and final nights in 2013 and 2010 exceeded $8 million, with more than 17,000 in combined attendance.
'Due to the success we have experienced in the past, we are excited to host the 2018 Breeders Crown,' said vice president of racing operations Dale Rapson. 'The Hambletonian Society was as enthusiastic to come back as we are to have them. Of course, these events can not happen without the ongoing support, participation, and cooperation of the Pennsylvania Harness Horsemen's Association.'
The Breeders Crown series has typically crowned champions in every division for trotters and pacers and been the deciding factor in Horse of the Year honors. A Breeders Crown title is one of the most coveted honors in harness racing.
